Description:
When working with SQL Snippets, I right-clicked one and selected "Insert text into SQL area", but it replaced the existing text.  It seems that it does this when the contents of the SQL area are already selected, which is the state WB leaves the SQL area after replacing/inserting SQL snippets.

Maybe the solution is not select the entire SQL area after completing the snippet insert/replace, if the behavior to replace all selected text is a requirement.

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
See above.

i agree, seems best to not select whole text after text was insertet/replaced

An entry has been added to the 5.2.11 changelog:

When using the SQL Snippets palette, right-clicking on a snippet, and then selecting the menu item Insert text into SQL Area, replaced all text in the SQL Statements area. This happened after another snippet had previously been inserted, as the default state was to leave all code in the SQL Statements area selected.
