Each time I run a query, the columns' widths in the result grid in MySQL Workbench are reset:
Is there any way to prevent this? According to the bug tracker, this issue was fixed 3.5 years ago.
Right-click a result grid subtab to open the context menu, which appears in the figure that follows. The result grid context menu includes: Rename Tab: Customize the name (title) of this tab. Pin Tab: Pin the results tab to the result grid.
Here is a simple technique to get back the results grid in MySql WorkBench. Place the text cursor on a query and use the "EXPLAIN command" for the statement under the cursor. That will open the Visual Explain window. In that window you can find Results Grid.
Thankfuly, this annoying bug was fixed in Workbench version 6.2+. I tested it with freshly downloaded v6.2.3.12312, 64-bit.
A heads up if you're using Windows non-installer version (i.e. zip): there is a new dependency which, if missing, causes it to break upon startup: Visual C++ Redistributable. Thankfully, installer version checks for this and lets you download it first. If you're not using the installer, here's the direct link to Microsoft site: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784.
There seems to be a bug tracker with this issue open :

Open a SQL editor to a server and execute a query that returns some text fields, the
columns don't autofit to a reasonable width to display as much as they can (or set in
the Preferences as I believe 256 bytes..). Instead they are displayed in a super
narrow table taking 1/20 of the screen width.
It seems to have changed with 6.1
