The DB Query Browser tool clears the queries when you do certain things like:

1. Open the DB tool from another "workspace" (e.g. Scripting/Perspective/Vision/Named Queries) by clicking on Tools -\> Database Query Browser
2. Refresh the DB list within the tool

Also, unrelated, opening a new query tab currently doesn't open the new tab, it just creates it and leaves you where you are; it should open the new tab

I just experienced several times that my new tabs were disappearing. I thought I was running mad at first. Bugs bugs

> v8.1.18 Very annoying. All query tabs are cleared when you press “refresh” to update the database list with added tables/schemas. Also annoying that adding a new query doesn’t also select it. There’ve been so many times I’ve replaced my query by adding a new tab and double clicking on a schema confused
