Description:
MySQL Workbench closes unexpectedly, without saving any data, frequently, when using the right-click "edit table.." option in the Physical Model tab.
This seems to happen not the 1st time, but the 2nd time I try edit table.
Editing two tables back-to-back seems to make it more frequent.
Because of this, I have to save after nearly every single change.

  

How to repeat:
Open my model.
right-click "edit table" on a table within the Physical Model tab.
  The table opens for editing in a lower tab.
right-click on another table.
  MySQL workbench just disappears!

Suggested fix:
Make it not crash, please.

Verified as described:

Open Workbench
Create two tables
Right click on table1 -> Edit table
Right click on talbe2 -> Edit table

Crash

I have found that "edit table in new window..." seems to avoid the crashing.

So... maybe there is something when it is trying to reuse that window, like a pointer not being released, that is causing the problem when it gets replaced by the new table's data?

Also, I figured out how to run it from the command line, and there are a bunch of messages sent to stderr that could be helpful in resolving.

thanks much!!
