Description:
Feature request!

The tabs should always remember the last database that it was connected to and automatically reconnect when there is an action (like execute current query) and the tab has been disconnected.

How to repeat:
Connect to a db.

run some queries.

Go look at why something is wrong (go away for a while).

Return to tab, make changes, try to run query again and database connection is lost.  You have to reconnect.

Suggested fix:
Tabs to remember the last database that it was connected to.

On action only, automatically reconnect when the session is lost / connection is dropped.

Susanne (and others),

Has there been any movement on this? 

I can tell you that this is more than a daily annoyance (more like 20x a day for me).

Thanks for all your hard work guys!
