Computing descriptions hang when using a SOCKS proxy

[ekirkland]

Currently we use a socks proxy to make remote connections to our servers and it works great. We do however run into hangs when certain local java processes are running, for example intellij. When its running it seems to hang on "computing descriptions" when we have the proxy settings on. If we switch back to using the system proxy settings the local process load up fine, however our remote connections won't work since we're relying on the socks proxy for that.

Please let me know if you need any more information, or if you have any suggestions for how we might be able to make VisualVM work nicely with both local processes and remote (via SOCKS).

I am seeing this issue too.

As soon as you kill any local java processes (e.g. IntelliJ) this problem goes away - but this is very inconvenient!
