soapUI changes (disables) proxy settings of Internet Explorer

Question

installed soapUI 4.5.1.
When i start soapUI it disabled all checkoxes in IE 8 Internet Options > Connection > LAN Settings.
If i enter a proxy in soapUI > File Preferences > Proxy Settings, then soapUI overwrites the configuration in IE with this proxy

The toggle button Apply proxy defined in global preferences in the iconbar has no effect on IE, only on soapUI connections.

How can i disable this behaviour?

I found out, that when you uncheck File > Preferences > UI Settings Opens startup web page when starting soapUI then the proxy settings in IE stay untouched.

I experienced the same thing. Sadly I love the test suites and the "Test on Demand" Tab does the same thing.

Solution

I've found out, it you untick: UI Settings -> Disable Browser - Disables integrated Browser component you can get rid of this behavior completely
