Hello Jennifer,

Thank you for the report and feedback.
Initially thought this could be duplicate of Bug #112640 (which itself is marked as dup of Bug #97595 but doesn't look duplicate actually). I quickly tried with MySQL Workbench Community (GPL) for macOS version 8.0.38 CE build 4270059 (64 bit) on macOS 14.x Sonoma arm64 but not seeing the issue as reported. Attaching the screenshot shortly.

To investigate further this issue at our end, may I kindly request you
to launch workbench under debug mode (--log-level=debug3) and provide
unaltered workbench log file(more details about log are explained here
-
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/workbench-reporting-bugs.html)
along with screenshot of the problem? Thank you.

regards,
Umesh

To be honest I couldn't launch workbench under debug mode (--log-level=debug3). I tried open MySQLWorkbench.app --log-level debug3 and got open: unrecognized option `--log-level'. I have included a video of my problem and the log files.

Thank you
