Description:
right clicking beside a row with data in it and selecting 'delete row' does nothing, no data is deleted and the 'apply' tick and 'cancel' cross stay greyed out.

How to repeat:
When viewing the output after double clicking a table, if you right click the black square next to the row and select delete row, no data is deleted.

upgrade to serious, workaround is available but does affect the user

I do not see this problem on Windows XP, so should be something Mac OS X specific.

Indeed, delete row does not work on Mac OS X.

setting the focus for a column/cell doesn't work in osx version - therefore nothing gets deleted/copied (same problem for the "copy row values/field content" functions

This has been fixed.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.18 changelog:

In the SQL Editor, right-clicking a row in the results editor (after double clicking a table), and selecting delete from the context-sensitive menu, did not have any effect.

I think you are looking for the apply and revert button at the bottom right of the results grid.

What is happening here is general bad UX design.. People tend not to look in the lower right corner, especially when there is a toolbar at the top. I think there are definitely a few changes that need to be made to this app to improve UX.
