Description:
in query view, cannot rename a table using the "alter table" dialog; renaming using an ALTER TABLE query works fine, tho. also, i think trying to alter a table's fields doesn't work once you type a different table name into this dialog.

How to repeat:
right-click/control-click a table in an open database and choose "alter table." only change the table's name in the "table" tab and click "apply." nothing happens - no dialog asking you to confirm the operation, nothing. this may also apply to attempting to alter a table's fields in the "columns" tab, as in if the table's name is different the "apply" button will not work.

Suggested fix:
maybe set the "dirty" bit if the table name is different so that "apply" actually works?
