Thanks - I've applied this fix to stable *and* trunk.

I haven't applied this one for the following reasons:
- It is missing a doc update (don't worry about the screen shot, just
the text).
- The combo box is not wide enough to display 'Strings' in English,
which means it almost certainly will be too small in some other
languages. As a rule of thumb, try to allow 30-50% extra space.
- The 'copy sql from...' option on the options tab now seems too close
to the bottom of the tab. Perhaps the dialogue should be enlarged
slightly?
Cheers, Dave.
