[FIXED] Getting the query box to stay open

Issue

My hosting company have recently upgraded to phpmyadmin 4.4.10. In earlier versions when you ran a query and then clicked "Edit" the query box would open in a separate browser window which was great as it allowed you to keep adjusting the query and viewing the output in the main window without loosing it.

Checking "Retain query box" does what it says on the tin but it's not great, it will disappear if you click to view the next 25 results (default per page) or if you click show more results per page.

You loose your query entirely if you accidentally click a link to open another table (usually I remember to right click open in new tab)

If anyone knows a way to restore the previous behavior please help.

Using mysql client software on my local machine is an option but not an ideal one as my ip address changes frequently and I have to login to the control panel and add it to a mysql remote connection whitelist

Solution

For normal query adjusting, click on "Edit inline" if the query is still visible. If you accidently lose your query, it's still available in the Console (bottom link of the main panel) which contains an history of your queries, and you can edit them.
