Description:
Hello,

when i create a field comment containing the sequence \', the resulting code is wrong.

How to repeat:
1. Create a new mysql workbench project
2. Add a table
3. Add a field in the table
4. Place the following text in the field's comment: "Test with \' test"
5. File -> Export -> Forward SQL Engineer Create Script...

The resulting script will contain:

`field_name` FIELD_TYPE NULL COMMENT 'Test with \\' test' , <--- Wrong  escape sequence in comment

The resulting comment should be instead: 'Test with \\\' test'

Thank you.

Suggested fix:
Check the function that adds escape characters to comment strings.
