title: MySQL Workbench Query Preferences
body: <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8fEsQ.jpg" alt="screenshot"></p>
  
  <p>We recently upgraded our MySQL Workbench environment from 5.2 to 6.1.</p>
  
  <p>It works fine, but every query seems to default to columns that are tiny, so that the result of every query has me opening up each column so I can see the data.</p>
  
  <p>When we had 5.2, the columns would make an attempt to fill the viewing window.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to fix this behavior in the many settings that Workbench has?</p>
  
  <p>I tried asking this with an account I have had for a while on <a href="http://forums.mysql.com/list.php?113" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MySQL Forums :: MySQL Workbench</a>, but the system says I am not authorized to post or reply to topics there.</p>
