Dave,
and then learned: hey, I was pressing F5 with focus on the scratch pad. NOTHING was done to my query result :( Of course not --- it's just a scratch pad.
What platform? I just tried this on Windows and it works perfectly. The code is also written such that F5 should always execute the query... oh hang on
Yeah. It does. I keeped on trying, what is going wrong ...
I undocked and redocked the scratch pad, so it was over the whole horizontal area. And: Pressing F5 really executed the query. And, correctly, it executed the query within the query window. Just as designed and correct.
That would potentially violate the principle of least surprise.
It was clearly my mistake: I edited within the scratch pad. Of course, that did not lead to a new query.
I learned it and propably will not make this error again... but I am thinking hard of a way to save other from dropping in the same traps :9
