Description:
Ok so I installed workbench on my laptop which runs windows 7 and was adding some stuff to my server when I noticed that in SQL Editer, I only had the output tab. I know that their are option when you can turn on the overview tab and other things as well but when I looked in preferences, I was missing those options as well (i think it was live schema update or something). Anyway bottom line is I have now way of turning it on so I figure its gotta be a software problem unless im the only one experiencing this.

Oh and Ive completely uninstalled the software and reinstalled it multiple times, I even tried using the installer that gives you everything in one package (connecters, sample databases, etc.)

How to repeat:
Its set to default on not showing anything but the output tab. So just running the program will repeat it.

There are 3 buttons at the right on a toolbar. Please, check if they will help you to add missing interface elements.

yea i tried that already. It only removes the left, bottom, or right interfaces.

Also i think i forgot to mention this but under the query tab im supposed to have some sort of refresh live overview option or something like that and thats gone too. Im also missing the history tab that supposed to be down there as well.

I dont know it seems like anything that deals with the overview has upped and disappeared....

Yes, I also miss some of pre-5.2.36 interface elements.

The overview tab was replaced with the Object browser in the sidebar.
