Nope. Here are the steps you gave us:

What is "do anything"? because if I try to run the query another time
(still query tool only), pgAdmin asks me if I want to reconnect. I say
yes, and I have to run the query another time to get the results.

If I follow these steps, I don't have the issue. It works all the time.
Meaning, something is probably missing in your steps.

Yeah, time missing.
