Description:
Dear mysql team,

It would be really great (and look less archaic) to have a dropdown list for selecting column data types in the table editor. The linux version include this feature.

The type-ahead is cool, but you still have to know all datatypes before starting. 

Ok, this is not a critical issue, but certainly not too hard to implement ;-)

Cheers

How to repeat:
On any windows installation i've tried, the table editor won't propose a dropdown box.

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We are on the way to implement full functionality of MySQL Administrator into MySQL Workbench. We won't add this feature request anymore.
