Description:
I recently upgraded to MySQL Workbench 26.7 and want to commend the team on the update. The application looks much more modern and feels significantly faster.
However, the removal of the Pin Tab and Rename Tab functionalities from the Result Grid has introduced a major roadblock in my daily workflow. Pinning is my most frequently used feature, as it allows me to retain critical query results while running subsequent statements. Additionally, because result tabs are now generically labeled Result #1, Result #2, etc., it is incredibly difficult to track which dataset is which without the ability to rename them.
Losing these features makes managing complex data analysis very painful, to the point where I am forced to use the old version. Please consider restoring the Pin Tab and Rename Tab context options in an upcoming release. Thank you for your time and continued work on the tool!
How to repeat:
Run any query and right click on the Results tab. Notice there is no option of pinning or renaming tabs.
Suggested fix:
Restore the Pin Tab and Rename Tab choices to the context menu of the Result Grid tabs.
1. Right-Click Context Menu: When a user right-clicks on a "Result #" tab header, the dropdown menu should include options for Pin Tab and Rename Tab alongside the current "Close" options.
2. Pinning Behavior: A pinned result tab should lock the current dataset and force any subsequent query executions to open automatically in a new, separate result tab.
3. Thumbtack Icon: Ideally, re-introduce the small thumbtack/pin UI icon next to the result tab text for quick, one-click pinning.
