> The clock-like icon is disabled (or not visible) if there are no background tasks running.
Seems to be there all the time for me and if I click it then it pops up a box saying "There are no active background processes" (Win10, B3)
The clock-like icon is typically only enabled for a while when retagging your workspace from scratch. Doing a workspace update finishes pretty quick (less than 1 second for me but I've got an SSD and local source code). An update of the workspace occurs when you switch between another application and SlickEdit.
I took your message to mean that the clock-icon should disappear if there is nothing going on in the background. I was just reporting that it is always there for me, whether or not there is something going on in the background.
