How to make a field NULL using MySQL GUI Tools?

I'm using the MySQL Query Browser (part of the MySQL GUI Tools) and need to change a field to NULL, but I can't figure out how to do it - if I delete the value it tries to update it to ''. Typing "NULL" makes it try to update to 'NULL' (a string).

I know I could just write a query to do it, but that defeats the entire purpose of the tool, no?
