Description:
Execution of script with "DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS `<trigger_name>`;

fails and stops in debugging mode. Cannot continue using "Continue" or "Step".

How to repeat:
Create new schema
Execute script with "DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS `<trigger_name>`;

Suggested fix:
This statement should not fail to execute, and should not stop the script from executing (especially not stop at a debug point without making it a debug point)

Please try the latest version of QB. I cannot reproduce this problem with the current code base. Note: in the query area you get a message that the trigger does not exist, but it's a note, not an error. In the script editor it just executes as expected.

This bug was created when executing from a script, so I do not see the warning.

However, the issue does appear to be fixed in the latest release, 1.2.16, of Query Browser.

Thanks!
