Description:
In the "Edit Table" dialog, setting the default value of a column to a string value  (for string or enum column types), the query on "Apply Changes" will fail because of missing single quotes around the string value.

How to repeat:
Edit a table which has a string default value. The default value will appear without single quotes. If without any changes to the default value, the query on "Apply Changes" will fail.

Still exists in v1.0.13.  Quite anoying... I suggest to raise the severity.

The problem with adding ' automatically is, that you cannot specify NULL or you also may want to have no ' for numbers.

We could make an option to add '' automatically and place the cursor in between the ' when you edit the field and it is empty.

Would that solve your issue?
