Description:
On two occassions now while working to design a database (54 tables with 14 separate drawings), MySQL Workbench throws an error and Windows says it must close the applicaiton.  The application closes and can be reopened manually.  

Attempts to reproduce the error are not successful.  Both errors occurred at different times.  The first occurred when creating a foriegn index.  The second crash occurred when creating a table.

Though the file was saved regularly, previously saved information (specifically text objects used to document the designs were lost (20 objects, approx.).  further, many relationships were lost.  Most of the lost objects were created hours ago during previous sessions.

How to repeat:
Issue occurs intermittently

Suggested fix:
Unknown fix.

Upon further investigation I found that the crash and data loss are not related.

During further analysis, the following demonstrates two separate issues:

(1) open workbench and create new drawing.
(2) Create diagram
(3) On diagram create new text object to design TITLEBLOCK for the diagram (to be used in project manual).
(4) Save drawing and verify save by message in status bar.
(5) Close application.
(6) Re-open application and drawing.
(7) navigate to the diagram created in step 2-3.
(8) Observe that text object does not appear.

From this experience I am inclined to believe the software is not saving text objects.

I couldn't repeat on Vista X86_64.

Sam, one part (crash) could be what's described in Bug#48520. Let me see for text objects.

Sam, can't get TEXT object to disappear... Could be my diagram is too simple (just a few objects) but still.

My environment:
  Win7 Ultimate in VBox 3.0.12 with WB 5.2.8

Can you please try recreating issue with latest version of WB?

More precisely, Win7Ultimate x64 in VBox.
