Usability gripe... when you click on a value in the results grid, and get the "Valud of column" dialog box, the controls there don't make sense as far as usability.
1) As a user when I press "Export", I'd expect a dialog box with a "Save" button to pop up. Instead it immediately dumps the file in the Windows TEMP directory.
2) I'm supposed to guess as a user that first I should press "Browse" then enter a file name, then press... "Open" ?? You don't have Open dialog boxes to save stuff, you have "save" dialog boxes. And then I'm supposed to press "Export"?
3) And when you Browse and enter a file name, nothing actually happens functionally, which is not what a user will expect. It's like the dialog here is trying to be a File selection dialog and calls a 2nd level file selection dialog when you press Browse.
4) Why does the Reformat Xml/Json button have to export the data? Why can't I see it in place?
5) I tried changing the TEMP environment variable in Windows to c:\cygwin\tmp and relaunched, but it didn't seem to use that directory, it now started defaulting to my home directory instead of the windows default temp directory. Maybe I did something wrong, I don't know, but maybe its not handling this correctly. i.e. with java.io.tmpdir
6) It would be nice as an option if this dialog box was available as a pane on the right side of the results similar to how Windows Explorer has a preview pane on the right side if you press the correct button. If you're looking at a lot of data fields that are really big, you don't really want to be flooding the screen with dialog boxes, you might just want to click around and see the big version without going through the dialog open/close cycle.

Sorry, I can't reproduce your issue about Reformat Xml/Json. In my tests the reformating takes place right in the cell data popup.
I managed to reproduce your issue about Xml/Json reformatting. The fix is committed to our GIT repositories. You may try out the next snapshot.
