Description:
Issue:
When saving a query the undo history is automatically cleared.

Impact:
While working on queries users frequently perform save operations. However humans often make mistakes and must perform Undo operations (ctrl+s) no matter if they performed a save or not.

Issue Type: Loss of functionality

How to repeat:
1. Connect to your database
2. Open a new query (ctrl+t)
3. Type up a simple query (or anything)
4. Save, (ctrl+s)
5. Attempt to undo what you wrote, (ctrl-z)

Suggested fix:
Do not clear the Undo history after user saves their work

Thank you for the bug report. On my side 6.1.6 and older version behaves same as
6.1.7 however Windows applications like notepad doesn't clear the undo history
after saving the document so a valid bug.

upgraded severity from non-critical to serious.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.2.2 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Saving a query in the SQL editor would clear the undo history.

Thank you for the bug report.
