Bug #32736 SQL treated as a comment

Description:
There is a very annoying gremlin in MySQL Query Browser that treats actuals SQL code as a comment.  Please see my repo steps..

How to repeat:
--
-- Cut & paste these 4 lines into QB
--
UPDATE `flat-settings` SET value = '1.2.1' WHERE iname = 'Gene_Version';

RESULT when you trim the semi-colon and place cursor at top of comments, the sql line is then treated as a comment.

Thank you for a bug report. Verified just as described on XP.

Jared, I don't see this effect in QB. How do you come to the conclusion that the SQL line is treated as comment? When you execute it (by placing the caret in that line and press ctrl+enter) does it show an error about an empty command? Also, is the text all gray and printed with italic font like the comment starting with double dash?

I have been confused by because I thought gray lines were all comments but comments are actually *in reality* white backcolor - although this is never seen.
