Description:
In some situations, the fields for the database connection don't change if you change the connection method.

How to repeat:
1.) Menu Database / Reverse Engineer
2.) In the Selectbox "Stored Connection" select the first empty entry (Actively open the Box and close it by selecting the first empty entry)
3.) Change the value of Selectbox "Connection Method"  to another value (eg. "Local Socket / Pipe")
4.) The fields "Hostname" / "Port" should change to a single field "Socket / Pipe Path", but it doesn't

The Bug only occurs if step 2 is performed. If you jump from 1 to 3 the problem doesn't show up.

fix confirmed in repository

An entry has been added to the 5.2.20 changelog:

In the Reverse Engineer Database wizard, on the Connection Options page, if the first empty connection was selected from the Stored Connection drop-down list box, and then the Connection Method changed, the fields on the Parameters tab did not change accordingly.
