Can you enable query logging on your server and see what is actually

That's intended - it's so you don't lose the text you might have just 
spend five minutes typing in (which can be annoying if the error was 
caused by a simple constraint error for example. To get out of the loop, 
after you see the error either fix it, or hit the undo button to revert 
the changes you've made.

No, this is not currently possible on the context menu, but you can just 
hit the button on the toolbar.
