Bug #51477 Workbench crash when attempting to connect

Description:
Workbench crashes when attempting to connect to a server for "Manage Import / Export"

How to repeat:
Successfully created a Server Instance and then highlighted it and clicked Manage Import / Export. A pop-up box asking to "Select Server to Connect to:" which I selected (there was only one in the list) and clicked the OK button. Immediately, a new window popped up saying "MySQL Workbench has encountered a problem, External component has thrown an exception."

What exact version of MySQL Workbench, 5.x.y, do you use?

Hi Valeriy,

I am using MySQL Workbench 5.2.16 OSS Beta Revision 5249 against MySQL Server 5.0.77 (comes packaged with CentOS 5.4).

Thanks,
CARTER

Thank you for the feedback. The connection is for a local or remote server?. Thanks in advance.

The connection was to a remote server. Basically from my Windows Vista x64 workstation running MySQL Workbench to a CentOS Linux 5.4 server running MySQL server.

Please disregard the duplicate comment I did before.

I has the same problem, for remote server too. I paste the throw error.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.17 changelog (and duplicates recorded):

When Manage Import / Export was clicked on the Home screen, a server instance selected, and then OK clicked, MySQL Workbench displayed an error dialog with the following message:

MySQL Workbench has encountered a problem, External component has thrown an
exception.

Are there any updates on this bug? I have the same issue but mostly when i connect to a remote database.
