MySQL Bugs: #51040: Cannot view full response on output tab of a query

Bug #51040	Cannot view full response on output tab of a query
Submitted:	9 Feb 2010 20:10	Modified:	21 Apr 2010 13:55

Category:	MySQL Workbench: SQL Editor	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.2.15 Rev. 5053	OS:	Windows (Win 7 64)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
On the output tab after executing a query, there is no easy way to view the full text of the action or response columns.  You open the text in a separate window, you cannot scroll the text, and you cannot widden the columns.  This is a problem when you have an error in a very long query and are trying to see the exact error message.  The only way to view this is to hover your cursor over the field and wait for the tooltip to display.

How to repeat:
Execute a very long query with an error in it.

Suggested fix:
Create an interface for viewing the fields from the action and response columns from this listview.  Additionally, copynig the field contents to the clipboard would be nice as well.

Thank you for the bug report.

I believe this has been addressed recently.

this has been added to release version

a detail panel for displaying selected output text in multiline textboxes has been added

An entry has been added to the 5.2.17 changelog:

On the Output tab of the SQL Editor, it was not possible to properly view the contents of the Action and Message columns, if the text exceeded the standard column width.

MySQL Workbench has now added a detail panel, so that long messages can be easily viewed.
