vsphere client annoyance

while I'm working in a VM, the client times out so I have to go back and click the plus sign and then click the vm I was working in to get the console back. Very annoying. I can see a timeout for inactivity, but why does it when I'm activity working in the vm? I've set it to 600 seconds, which is still to short in my opinion, but it doesn't seem to care. Just times out whenever it wants to. Running Vsphere client 4.0.0 and ESXi 4.0.0.

Is your vCenter in a VM? I'd say this was network / responsiveness related to your setup. I have the client on many support machines, never seen this problem.

the client has other refresh issues for VM's but they are minor, but not with the console of a VM.

600 seconds is short? What are you using an hour glass? 600 seconds is timeout, meaning the client WAITS for something to happen then when the timer is reached it will "timeout"
