How to repeat:
Create a new connection - method: standard tcp/ip over ssh.

Click on advanced then check Use compression protocol.

Test connection - Recieve error message "no bool value passed for CLIENT_COMPRESS"

Uncheck Use compression protocol and re test connectiona nnd recieve the same error message

as workaround you can create a new profile which has this option disabled by default.

both issues are fixed now. the correct disabling of the option as well as the problem that caused the error when using the option. fixes will be included in 5.2.7

An entry was added to the 5.2.7 changelog:

The Use compression protocol option was not working correctly when set in the Manage DB Connections wizard.

When the checbox Use compression protocol was selected in the Advanced tab of the Manage DB Connections wizard, the following error was generated when the connection was tested:

No bool value passed for CLIENT_COMPRESS

The same error occurred even if the Use compression protocol checkbox was subsequently cleared.
