Thanks for reporting. We are now hiding the Text Tab Sheet when you view a Blob field. It is not possible at this time to edit text that is stored inside a BLOB field. You just may load or store to a file. If you have to store large amout of text you should use a TEXT (MEDIUMTEXT, LARGETEXT) datatype instead. With TEXT columns you get a correct characterset / collation and you can edit this text just like normal VARCHAR columns. As a workaround - e.g. if you have to store Word documents inside the database - we will offer the ability to launch external editors for different datatypes in one of the next versions.
