Description:
I can crash workbench when I click on a table in the left hand column of the navigation and then right click on the table name.

How to repeat:
Open up mysql workbench
connect to a server instance
go to the top right corner of the screen and turn OFF the left management window pane
Close mysql workbench
Open mysql workbench
connect to a server instance
go to the top right corner of the screen and turn ON the left management window pane
Go into a schema
go to the tables
right click on a table and it will crash.

To fix the problem, open mysql workbench
connect to a server instance
connect to a server instance
go to the top right corner of the screen and turn ON the left management window pane
Close mysql workbench
Open it back up again and you are good to go

Suggested fix:
There is something about the left management window that when it is disabled when you first come into workbench that when you turn it on, it doesn't work right.

When this all happens, i have to force quit the application.

I have tried this same procedure four times this morning and it works exactly as I described it above each time.  I also tried it with a different database connection and it did the same thing.

Overall fix is to leave the left nav open all the time.

I can send over some logs if requested and you tell me what you need.
I can also record a video of it doing this if you would like.

Thank you for the feedback. I couldn't repeat or I misunderstood your instructions to repeat. Are you able to attach screenshots for every step to repeat?. Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback. We are not able to repeat on OS X El Capitan which is newest than your OS X version so I ask you to wait the next new release to test if that issue continues and comment here the result. Thanks.
