Description:
When executing a query, (ctrl-enter), I am often thrown to the overview tab which is less than interesting.  In fact, it means that I just have to go back and re-select the tab I was on because it's where I want to be.

How to repeat:
Execute a query that takes a while to crunch through or that returns no results.  (Update query, for example).

Suggested fix:
Leave user on existing query edit screen and have some feedback loop to cue the user that something is happening

Preferred woul be a small dialog box at the bottom of the pending result tab which would initlally have the pending result tab with a realtime counter of seconds elapsed.  (Updating time would let the user know that something is happening and the program has not just stalled / crashed).  Then also copy any relevant error information there if necessary.  

If on positive result being fetched, then box turns into one line (query executed, ex time, fetch time, total time.
