Build Identifier: I20100608-0911

- the table displaying the results set is always a little too wide and a little to low. one has already to scroll to see all columns and, that's what's really annoying, the scrollbar, and the last line is usually shown half. 
- the table displaying the results set does not make use of the space available. when the result contains eg only two lines, the last line is still shown only half, instead there's a huge white area below the table with a lonely "Elapsed Time: ..."  taking up all teh spece better used by the table instead.
- the nested scroll areas are annoying. i can't easily scroll the results, since the outer scroll area (containing table and "Elapsed Time:...") catches scroll events. i always have to scroll horizontally to the inner scrollbar. since that is caused by apparently only the "Elapsed Time: ..." label (which is useles, since the time is totally wrong), i vote for removing it or at least moving it away from that place, using only one scroll area instead, allowing easy scrolling through results.
- the "Elapsed Time" is totally nonsense. i execute a query which takes several minutes, but "Elapsed Time" shows "0 hr, 0 min, 0 sec, 137 ms." it's obviously not the time the query took, but it is impossible to gather what time it is referring to -- and thus it is useless and should be removed.


Reproducible: Always

additional: displaying results in multiple tabs would help the three first points -- but when displaying, first the "status" tab with the query shows, then, very short, the results, and it switches back to "status", now displaying both the query and the bogus "elapsed time".
at least that last switch back to "status" is unnecessary and requires yet another click top see the results, although the results are the sole purpose of the whole action, not the query or the elapsed time.

downgrading to minor, since it is a bug, but not that important.
