Description:
Query Browser Comment recognition fails if space doesnt follow after --

this SQL fails in QB:
SELECT * FROM mysql.host h
--order by h.Insert_priv

this works:
SELECT * FROM mysql.host h
-- order by h.Insert_priv

when using the first statement with another client (eg. eclipse plugin DB edit) it works, so it's not an egine problem.

i first thought to put this on S3 but chnaged my mind, since when you have already some SQL stmts and you want to execute them in QB you must edit them if they contain comments like in stmt 1 and this can be a pain in the A...

How to repeat:
s.a.
