The current way of opening attachments is confusing. When user clicks on particular attachment actually nothing happens until the attachment is finally opened.

It would be great to see, at least, some progress bar.

The current way is confusing for small attachments, like pictures up to 1MB. The things are getting worse when opening bigger attachments. IDE needs more time to download it I guess and open. During this time user does not know what is actually happening and has enough time to click one more time or several times on the same attachment.

Moreover multi-click on single attachment leads *sometimes* to the runtime exception.
