MySQL Bugs: #103592: Periodic "Open SSH Connection" prompts stack after a long network disruption.

Bug #103592	Periodic "Open SSH Connection" prompts stack after a long network disruption.
Submitted:	5 May 2021 16:49	Modified:	2 Dec 2021 13:03
Reporter:	Ian Roskam	Email Updates:
Status:	Won't Fix	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	8.0.23 build 365764 CE (64 bits)	OS:	Windows (Windows 10)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	SSH tunnel

Description:
When Windows is put to sleep or the network is disconnected when MySQL Workbench has an active SSH tunnel the periodic "Open SSH Connection" prompts stack.

To continue using MySQL Workbench all the prompts need to be cleared by canceling.  Logging into one prompt does not clear the rest.

How to repeat:
1. Log into a database with MySQL Workbench using an SSH tunnel.  
2. Disable network or put machine to sleep.
3. Wake the machine and log back in.

Suggested fix:
Do not open another "Open SSH Connection" prompt if there is already one open.

Hello Ian Roskam,

Thank you for the reasonable feature request!

Ashwini Patil

This issue applies to the legacy MySQL Workbench 8.x implementation that is no longer supported or maintained.
MySQL Workbench 26.7 is a complete rewrite using a new technology stack and does not use the affected legacy implementation.
Therefore, this issue is not applicable to the current MySQL Workbench product and as such is closed.
