Description:
When switching from the Query view and the Script view, the "Execute" button moves around. This is specially confusing since the location of the Execute button matches exactly the location of the "Compare" button, which also happens to be quite similar to the Execute button!

You can't change the way they are ordered (best you could do is disable them altogether to avoid confusion, the advanced toolbar option doesn't affect them in any way).

This isn't such a big deal when writing a normal script but when writing procedures/functions it becomes a nuisance. See "How to repeat" for more details on how it can become really confusing.

How to repeat:
Open/Write a script (preferably one that defines a procedure/function).

Open/Write query to test procedure/function call.

Execute script to put procedure/function on server.

Select the resultset with the testing query - you'd expect the "Execute" button to be right where you just clicked execute to update the procedure/function... but it's on the left this time...

Suggested fix:
Find a better order for the exceute/stop buttons on the script forms.

I understand that it's a bit annoying sicne the "refresh" button is in the way...

This issue was created by another bug. I have no idea how I triggered it however it hapenned when upgrading from 1.1.19 to 1.1.20. For some reason the "Query toolbar" went down into a the tabs.

Deleting the qb options xml fixed the issue.

Chaging to this mode caused oodles of problems (like various crashes, tabs not closing, application not close when pressing X, "daulphin animation" dissapearing and the descriptive text under the toolbars to dissapear.

If I can find the way to trigger this again I'll upate this bug, otherwise this is most probably a non issue (though I did enjoy having the query inside the tab rather then in the toolbar...)
