iACS - Run SQL Scripts - Access to the query from results window

The SQL query text is truncated at around 80 characters when displayed on the tab for the results pane or the window title when displaying results in a separate window. This can make it very hard to differentiate which results correspond to which query if the SQL does not have identifiable differences in the first 80 characters.

It would be nice to be able to see the entire query from the results (either panel or window). Suggestions for how to present this:
(1) A hover-over the truncated query text, that shows the original query with the same layout as in the query entry panel (i.e. without the whitespace condensed)
(2) A menu option to display the full query in a sub-panel within the results (panel / window)
(3) A menu option or toolbar button to copy the full query to the clipboard and/or back to the SQL entry panel.


Use Case:

Improve usability and remove confusion when multiple results are open.
