Description:
I've selected one of my many schemas and am trying to work with the objects.  In the row above the name of the schemas, I see icons which remind me of display options (large icons, small icons, list).  It appears to default to what I associate with "small icons" (9 small squares arranged in tiles), but I'm not sure what exactly these are supposed to represent, since there is no tooltip.

I decided to push them and see what happened, and as best I can tell, clicking the "large icon" button changes focus from the currently selected schema to the one listed before it.  Then clicking on the "small icon" or "list" button goes back to the original selected schema.  Clicking them multiple times does not cause multiple movements, and the "small icons" button remains highlighted throughout.

I'm not sure if these are intended to change the view of objects, but they seem to be wired up as "next" and "previous" buttons to some extent, but even that appears to be broken.

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
Add tooltips to clarify the intended usage, but fix behavior to match use case.

"large icons", "small icons", "list" buttons are fixed. But adding of tooltips is a serious effort because of the way how collapsing panel control is implemented.

icons for changing list-style as well as icons for creating/dropping schema are working now.
will be included in 5.2.11

An entry has been added to the 5.2.11 changelog:

In the Overview tab of SQL Editor, the toolbar buttons representing large icons, small icons, list, add, and delete did not function correctly.
