Both the Verify and the Create button are not responding. Even if I enter a fake server name on purpose so that it would come to a failure immediatley instead of waiting for a schema to be cached it never responds.

It never even gives you the "It is taking longer than usual" to contact message allowing you to save and check on it later.

Also you used to be able to create an unverified connection but the Create button will not even respond at all any longer.
