Hello!

Thank you for the bug report.
MySQL Workbench version 8.0.32 is quite an old version. Please upgrade to latest version and report us back if issue persist even in latest version along with unaltered workbench log file(more details about log are explained here - https://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/workbench-reporting-bugs.html). Thank you.

I have a similar problem.  I would like to add some more details:
1.  I get this dialog box first about Workbench not able to load an image https://www.screencast.com/t/fzG3c1Wm
2.  I only got this today 7/8/24.  I restarted my laptop twice, and the same problem happened each time.
3. I am on Windows 11 Education (64-bit), with 16G RAM, Intel Core i5.  My Workbench is 8.0 ce.  I am running MariaDB version 10.4.18.
