MainWindow::newTableBrowserTab is only calling the new TableBrowser's refresh() method through the constructor, before it has its model set, and the browser therefore is still blank when the user first sees it. A manual refresh at the end seems to be one way to fix this.

Sounds like a good idea to me. We'll need one of our more proper developers (eg knows the source code) to review this though. 😄 |

Not sure if we should refactor some of the code related to tabs in the data browser, but in any case, this fixes the bug, so I'll merge it without further thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to analyse it and provide a patch, @oldlaptop. |

The new multi-tab layout post-3.12.2 has the "Browse Table" context menu option for tables in the Database Structure browser create a new tab for the table, but it does not refresh the newly-created TableBrowser object (outside its constructor, where it doesn't have its model set yet) before it's displayed.
This means the user sees a blank table, and has to manually refresh the view. Since it appears as though the table's empty, this can be confusing, especially if the database happens to have the occasional genuinely-empty table in it. I'm not sure of the correct way to fix this, but this patch certainly works for me.
