Unable to see query results ...

... in 5.0.0.3272

I am just not offered the tabs below the query window. What am I doing wrong please?

John

Try to drag the log panel with the mouse. If it's set too hight, it can hide the results panel. Then, you are able to drag the result panel upwards.

Sorry to be dim. All I have below the query window is the log window. How do I drag it, there is nowhere below that will take a drag (that I can find!)

I realise that I am being obtuse, but I cannot see where to drag.

Sorry, this seems to be a popular cosmetic issue in HeidiSQL. You could solve it the hard way:
- exit all heidisql.exe processes
- start regedit.exe
- go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HeidiSQL\
- delete value "querymemoheight"
- start heidisql.exe

There isn't a visible drag handler. Move the mouse over the top border of the log panel until the mouse pointer changes to a double arrow.

Or just remove the registry key as suggested by anse.

If you're like me and this issue occurs with HeidiSQL running with Wine on Linux (Ubuntu 18 for me), you can fix it by creating the missing registry folder:

$ wine regedit.exe

You may find that the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HeidiSQL\ does not exist. Create an empty key, restart HeidiSQL and you should have your query output window back.

You can put the code below into a .reg file to "automate" that task

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\HeidiSQL] "QueryMemoHeight"=-

Changing the registry did not work for me. But the answer for topic 5331 did: Close HeidiSql. Try to find c:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\HeidiSQL\tabs.ini. Change "EditorHeight" to a small value: EditorHeight=184. Restart HeidiSql.
