Description:
Similar to Bug #49270, except not on it's own tab:  The ALTER SCHEMA wizard has a prominent "Comment" field, which is not translated into anything meaningful for the resulting DDL, nor is it clear what would populate this field.

How to repeat:
ALTER SCHEMA wizard.

Suggested fix:
Eliminate the "Comment" section.

Please only disable the comments label and text box and display it in light gray color so it is visually clear that this field is disabled.

this has been fixed in release

An entry has been added to the 5.2.19 changelog:

In the SQL Editor, the Alter Schema dialog had a comments field. However, the comments entered were not used in the generated DDL code.

MySQL Workbench has been changed so this comments field no longer appears.
