Bug #105025	Mysql Workbench goes unresponsive in MacOSX 11 when editing a script

Description:
Almost all the times I'm editing a script, especially when moving something in the WHERE clause, MySQL Workbench stops responding forever and I have to do a Force Quit for it. This happens very very often, that I decided to use an external editor to edit the queries and copy/paste them into the Workbench editor only to run them there. This is very annoying, and I hoped this could be solved in the new version 8.0.26 but is not. :(

My partner uses Workbench on Windows and he doesn't have this problem.

I have experienced this bug since I use MySQL Workbench (about 2+ years now)

How to repeat:
Open MySQL Workbench on Mac OS version 10+ or 11+ (I have MacOS 11.3 Big Sur) open some query with a considerably long WHERE clause on in. For example a view query. Next, try to move some of the conditions on the WHERE clause and, at some point, MySQL Workbench will stop responding and it will never come back :(

Suggested fix:
No clue
