Description
When new plugins are scanned when the program is opened, the percentage increases are uneven. Also, it looks like the user interface of the dialog doesn't update for each plugin that is scanned. Instead, they are scanned quietly and aren't shown in the progress dialog.
Progress bar update stops when user moves the cursor or clicks inside progressbar window

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the plugin scan at program startup and locating the progress dialog and plugin-scan entry point; verify how progress updates are dispatched while the window is interacted with. Done means the percentage advances evenly, every scanned plugin appears in the dialog, and updates continue when the cursor moves or the progress bar is clicked.
