View as plain text  
Ah, finally nailed it! :)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Double-click on a server, double-click on "Databases", double-click 
on a database, double-click on "Tables"
2. Right-click on a table, click on "Open Table" -> "Query"
3. Click and drag the mouse from the lower-right of the window to the 
upper-left of your screen, then let go of the mouse button (to select 
all the text)
4. Type in new text, to replace the stuff you highlighted. I typed in 
"blah blah".
5. Highlight a section of this new sentence (i.e., the second "bla").
6. Type in new text, to replace the old.

Outcome: The old text is deleted and your new text appears at the 
beginning of the query

Expected outcome: The old text is deleted and your new text appears 
where it used to be.

It might be QT's fault, I dunno. But it happens on Windows and if I 
remember correctly it happens on Linux too. Turning off syntax 
highlighting and completion doesn't solve it.

It ranks a full 10 on the "Coming when you least expect it" scale, and 
an 8.5 on the "general annoyance" scale. :)
