Bug #48969	Socket/Pipe description is not showing username

Assigned to:	Mike Lischke	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
In Workbench Server Administration:

The drop drown showing the connection in the 'Manage Server Instances' is not showing the username when this is a socket/pipe type.
Right now it shows:

  Localhost - @:0 <Local Socket/Pipe>

Although I have 'root' set as username.

For TCP/IP it works:

  Remote - root@remoteserver:3306 <Standard (TCP/IP)>

How to repeat:
* Server Administration > Manage Server Instances
* Choose 'New' (if the first in list, it might not work to edit the connection)
* Manage Connections.. and see the Socket/Pipe one without username

Suggested fix:
Maybe it's good to show the actual location of the socket or pipe name in the drop down instead of using the same format as TCP/IP connections?

Fixed in 5.2

fix will be included in 5.2.12

An entry has been added to the 5.2.12 changelog:

The Connections drop-down listbox in the Manage Server Instances dialog did not display the username for socket and pipe connections. For example it displayed Localhost - @:0 <Local Socket/Pipe>, rather than Localhost - root@:0 <Local Socket/Pipe>.
