Description:
It seems to be caused by a seg fault:

Exception Type:        EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes:       KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000080
Exception Note:        EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

How to repeat:
I opened Database from the top menu, selected Connect to Database, used a stored connection and clicked OK. The database I'm connecting to is a MariaDB database, which may have something to do with this.

If I connect from "Connections" it works fine, though it does show a warning for MariaDB.

Please try version 6.3.7.

I updated to 6.3.7. Now the behavior is I get a spinning Beach Ball and the application becomes unresponsive. However, this is only if I select the MariaDB database. Using regular MySQL, the connect to database button seems to work.

Thank you for the feedback. The MariaDB database isn't supported how it works with MySQL I am closing this bug report.

It works from the main page of MySQL Connections though, and it certainly shouldn't crash the application.
