I got the same thing and noticed something else.
Apparently, in the the connections tab, the last line on the bottom showing "<client> Keep approximately [n] number of connections up" in version 2.8.6 has disappeared in version 2.9.6.
What is the reason for this? What is a useless feature already or a new bug?
If anybody has noticed the same thing please let me know, especially if you know the reason why.
With kind regards.
