Description:
If one goes to MySQL Workbench and connects to a database server, on the right side there will be the Navigator Pane

This Pane has a section called schemas, where all of them are listed.

If one selects a schema ( or even better, many ), right click on them and click on DROP, everything will work.

BUT the DROP is going to happen in the UI thread which means the whole program will be frozen while the operation is going on.

this is extremally annoying.

How to repeat:
just do what I said again. it is 100% reproducable

Suggested fix:
Run the drop command in another thread

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.1.2 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Executing a "DROP" from within the UI (via right-click on a database in
the schema navigator) would cause the UI to freeze while the "DROP"
operation was executed.

Thank you for the bug report.
