Description:
Edit Table Data causing loss of SQL statements in current SQL Query tab.

How to repeat:
1. Open Workbench
2. Connect to a server
3. Select a database and display available tables
4. FIRST, run some custom SQL

SELECT VERSION();

5. THEN, right-click on any table and select "Edit Table Data"
6. Watch as it overwrites ALL existing SQL on the current SQL Query tab, causing you to lose you query.

Suggested fix:
Simply have "Edit Table Data" spawn a NEW tab, preserving any/all existing SQL. Unless the current SQL Query tab is empty, then no new tab would be required.
