Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	5.1.12 Beta Rev 4000	OS:	MacOS (v10.5.7, MacPro3,1, BootROM MP31.006C.B05, 8 processors, Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 2.8 GHz, 8 GB)
Assigned to:	Alfredo Kojima	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
The stored connection information does not fill in like it does for other wizard screens. This happens in the Database | Compare and Report Differences in Catalogs wizards.

How to repeat:
1. Open an .mwb
2. Click on Database | Compare and Report Differences in Catalogs
3. Choose a predefined Stored Connection
4. See that the information does not fill in. It needs to be done manually.

Suggested fix:
Gather information from the internal stored data object and populate the resulting fields.

Verified using MySQL Workbench 5.1.12 and 5.2.1 (latter being better though)

MySQL Workbench 5.1.12
* Db Connection Editor does not work. selecting one doesn't fill the hostname.
* "Compare and Report Diff in Catalogs" wizard: it does indeed not work, selecting does not auto-fill.

MySQL Workbench 5.2.1
* Db Connection Editor works, selecting one will auto-fill.
* "Compare and Report Diff in Catalogs" wizard: it does not work, selecting does not auto-fill.

fix confirmed; will be included in 5.1.13

An entry was added to the 5.1.13 changelog:

When using the Generate Catalog Diff Report wizard, the Stored Connection information was not automatically populated when a previously defined Stored Connection was selected.
