Description:
If you use -- or /* ... */ for comments, and you don't leave a space before -- or /*, the query works properly, but MySQL Query Browser highlights the comments improperly. In the first case (--) comment is not highlighted at all. In the second case (/* */) the word before /* is highlighted as if it was part of the comment.

This doesn't happen if the word before the comment is a 'string' or a function()

How to repeat:
First case:
SELECT 1-- my comments
SELECT * FROM mysql.db-- my comments

Second case:
SELECT 1/* my comments */
SELECT * FROM mysql.db/* my comments */
