Description:
While trying to connect to a database the HUD 'Opening SQL Editor' displayed correctly. However, the connection failed (it's on a server only available through VPN, and I forgot to open the VPN connection before trying to connect with MySQL Workbench), and the error dialog opened below the HUD, making it not clickable.

It did however work by pressing ESC or Enter to remove the dialog, but the dialog should be infront of the HUD.

How to repeat:
Make a new connection to something you know is invalid (I used 127.1.2.3), define a username and password, then try to open a connection to this invalid server.

Suggested fix:
Either show the error dialog infront of the HUD to make the button clickable, or remove the HUD when an error occurs and only show the error dialog.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.19 changelog:

When opening a connection to start querying from the Home screen, the HUD displayed correctly. However, an error occurred with the connection, and the error dialog was displayed beneath the HUD. This meant it was not possible to click the dialog, although pressing ESC cleared it. The error dialog should have been displayed in front of the HUD, making it clickable.
