Description:
MySQL WB crashes (i.e., quits unexpectedly) when connecting locally immediately after the 'opening SQL editor ... please wait...' window. The server is running and I am able to access it from the terminal. I have tried to install archived versions of MySQL Community Server (8.0.20 thru 8.0.25) and MySQL WB (8.0.12 thru 8.0.25); the only combination that seems to work, i.e., does not result in a crash, is if I downgrade all the way to MySQL WB 8.0.13 while keeping MySQL Community Server 8.0.25. A quick search did not lead me to any similar bugs or any indication of whether my particular case is a known bug. Although there does appear to be a trend over the past years of bugs whenever Apple has an update, which usually gets addressed in later versions of MySQL WB. I wish to know if my particular case is indeed a bug.

How to repeat:
I tested a lot of combinations of MySQL Community Server and MySQL WB versions, but the problem began with this particular combination: MySQL Community Server 8.0.25 and MySQL WB 8.0.25.  

1. download and install MySQL Community Server 8.0.25 MySQL WB 8.0.25 (or earlier versions all the way back to 8.0.13).
2. run MySQL Community Server
3. local instance 3306
4. A crash should happen then after getting the 'opening SQL editor..' window

Hello Yang Wu,

Thank you for the bug report.
I've tried to reproduce your issue on a Mac with workbench 8.0.25 but not seeing any issues at my end.
Discussed internally with the WB developers and confirmed that it is not seen.
If you can provide more information, feel free to add it to this bug and change the status back to 'Open'.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.

Regards,
Ashwini Patil
