Re: [pgAdmin4][Patch]: Allow user to cancel long running queries from dashboard

It's a visual design update.

As for the actual dialogue; a wizard really isn't appropriate as the
typical workflow will be very inconsistent and often non-linear. I have no
idea how to improve it further, except through improving the visuals to
make it clearer. It's 100x easier to use than the pgAdmin 3 design though
:-)
