Description:
When trying to add comments to a script in the script tab causes the Query Browser to loop using 100% of the CPU forever (that is, several minutes before I killed it).  That is, typing - as the first non-whitespace character on a line makes it hang.

System is an Athlon XP 2500, 1G ram, running MySql locally, logged in as root into an empty database. 

How to repeat:
Open Query Browser
File / New Script Tab
backspace to first column
type -
Looping Ensues

Also works when - is first non-whitespace character (after spaces/tabs)
