that's new to me ..

I guess it is reindexing (not reinstalling) ... the database .. which takes a while ... (up to several minutes .. unless you have to few ram .. than it takes lot longer)
Bad experience.
Why not show a special message while reindexing, just like the "transaction scanning" message? The time needed for reindex is expected to be long, but an average user doesn't know that.

Yeah. It is just loading really really slow. I am using a live USB so maybe that could be why. (Slow read and write times on a USB)

I compiled the latest version of the BTS client on my linux mint OS (live usb). After I started the program, it crashed and gave me a corrupt database error and the client wanted me to reset and reinstall the database which I clicked. Then it opened the client and now it has been stuck at the "Finished Connecting. Launching Bitshares" stage for the last 20 minutes.

Is this a known issue?
