// How to repeat:

// Tried with WB 6.0.7, MySQL version 5.6.13 on OL6

mysql> use test
Database changed
mysql> 
mysql> DELIMITER //
mysql> DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS ct//
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

mysql> CREATE PROCEDURE ct()
    -> BEGIN
    -> 
    ->  DECLARE v1 INT DEFAULT 5010;
    ->   WHILE v1 > 0 DO
    -> 
    -> SET @s = CONCAT('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ', 't',v1);
    -> PREPARE stm FROM @s;
    -> EXECUTE stm;
    -> 
    -> SET @s = CONCAT('CREATE TABLE ','t',v1,' (id int not null)');
    -> PREPARE stm FROM @s;
    -> EXECUTE stm;
    -> 
    ->     SET v1 = v1 - 1;
    ->   END WHILE;
    -> 
    -> 
    -> END //
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> DELIMITER ;
mysql> call ct;

^^^Used above SP to create dummy tables(5k) and when table creation was running in the background, used WB and tried to use auto complete feature and WB freezed and had to kill WB session...

I get this a lot and can't figure out how to intentionally reproduce it, but I do know that the situation occurs when typing quickly and ignoring the auto-complete dialogs.

I can reproduce an odd variation of this, though.  Type in the query window until an auto-complete dialog appears.  Then tab away from the app to another app.  The workbench dialog window will persist on top of all other application windows even though mysql workbench is no longer active.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.2.3 release, and here's the changelog entry:

In the SQL editor, code completion would freeze MySQL Workbench when used with
a large (1000+ tables) database.

Thank you for the bug report.
