Description:
Workbench lets me enter table comments that are rejected by the MySQL server because they are too long. 

How to repeat:
1.) Define a table and give it a long comment
2.) Export the SQL definition file and try to load it into MySQL. It will fail with this message:

ERROR 1105 (HY000) at line 37: Too long comment for table 'foobar'

Suggested fix:
Workbench should restrict the comment length to what the MySQL server allows.
