Description:
From the home page, I tried to "Edit SQL Script".  Since I was planning on just modifying the script and not applying it, I was surprised that this action apparently requires me to establish a live connection to a MySQL database.  This doesn't seem like a good dependency; many people may want to use the syntax highlighting as they write SQL scripts without being connected to a live server.

How to repeat:
See above

Suggested fix:
Allow SQL script editing without live connection.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.2.4 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Opening an SQL script no longer requires a MySQL connection. To do this,
select "Open SQL Script" from the "File" navigation menu on the home page.

Thank you for the bug report.
