Description:
The table editor of the Query Browser has not the Federated table engine available in the "table options" tab. 
It is not possible to create federated tables using Query Browser. 

How to repeat:
Create a federated table using a client such as mysql.

Then connect to the DB using Query Browser and open the "table editor" of that table.

In "table options" tab you don't have the right engine specified for the table nor you can alter its structure or change its engine type.  

Suggested fix:
Add Federated engine support to Query Browser.

I change the severity level from S4 to S1 
According to the sentence " While all queries executed in the MySQL Query Browser can also be run from the command-line using the mysql utility" you can read on the first page of the Query Browser manual I hope I can do anything I want, including creation of federated tables. But, this is not true: I can't create and manage Federated tables.
This bug report is a significant "functionality missing"

Thank you for a problem report. Are you sure you have FEDERATED support in your server? Please, send the results of:

SHOW ENGINES;

to double-check.

MySQL server has federated engine, but table editor has not

Verified as described.

Yes, support for federated engines must be implemented first (on all supported platforms) so this is must wait until we come around it.
