If the query tool's feature to get the currently selected object's 
script, you can disable this in options. The query tool can't know what 
you're doing, because it's meant for arbitrary queries. It's completely 
inacceptable to issue a complete refresh of the main window after each 
execute, which is what you're requesting in consequence. But you can do 
this yourself (F5 key on the object: table, schema, or even database).

When using the property dialogs, which I'd recommend for minor changes, 
pgadmin knows what you're doing, and will refresh the tree after the 
change is successfully stored.
