Description:
WB uses a drop-down to specify the unit for numeric configuration options, and despite it being perfectly legal for numeric values, "G" is not represented or properly parsed:

"For options that take a numeric value, the value can be given with a suffix of K, M, or G"

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/option-files.html

This shows in WB as "M" for some reason, which can lead to significant misconfiguration of the server.

How to repeat:
Use a configuration file with the following:

innodb_buffer_pool_size=1G

See what WB shows.

Suggested fix:
Add G and parse correctly.
