************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

How to repeat:
1. Open Workbench
2. Switch to the User Types window
3. Right-click in the white area (not over a row)
4. Exception occurs

Suggested fix:
Handle the right click and present a context menu that allows to add a new user data type (brings up the User Defined Types edit window). Even better would be to also allow editing (adding, renaming, etc. not just deleting) the user defined types within the User Types window.

Correction: the user type window does allow edition. I had to triple click for it to work (very odd behavior to say the least).
