Description:
When executing a query in older versions of Workbench, I would see the Output tab below the SQL editor.  This was a visual confirmation that my query was sent to the server, and that the client was awaiting the response.  Now, when I run a query, it displays the Overview tab, which doesn't tell me anything related to the query I'm trying to run.

How to repeat:
Write a query that takes longer than a few seconds to run, execute it with ctrl+enter.

Suggested fix:
Revert to previous functionality of showing the output tab while the query runs.

What operating system do you use? On Mac OS X, for example, I see Output tab when query is running.

I'm seeing this on Windows 7.

Verified on Windows XP. Mac OS X and Linux versions are not affected.

Fixed as of 5.2.36:

+        Executing a slow query would not notify the user that the query
+        was running. The new SQL editor interface does show the
+        progress.
