MySQL Bugs: #49980: Unhandled Exception on Workbench 5.2.11 OSS

Bug #49980	Unhandled Exception on Workbench 5.2.11 OSS
Submitted:	29 Dec 2009 19:16	Modified:	4 Feb 2010 17:21
Reporter:	Thomas McCloskey	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	5.2.11 OSS	OS:	Windows (Vista Home)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
This is actually the third time I have downloaded Workbench in as many versions.  Each time I use it, it does the same thing.  I try and start work on the database (i.e. working in the tables, or building a new EER) and I start getting unhandled exception errors.  The application becomes inaccessible, since you can't get through the dialog boxes, and the only recourse is to crash the app.  I wonder if this is supported on Vista (or just Windows 7). 

How to repeat:
Use Vista (not a directive).

I have the same bug under windows XP. Yesterday i have working on a new WB project. Morning i will continue to work on it. But when i have opened my .mwb file directly, i had a fatal error on lauching of WB. I hade tried to open my project with previously WB (5.1.18a) opening and it works several minutes only. WB crashed again. So i have installed the previous version of WB and decided to begin again my project but WB didn't want to open himself.
So i reinstalled the 5.2.11 version and restart y PC and i will see if i have the bug again. If i hade it i will post the exception message.

I hope that you understand my english ^^

Hello,
Today i have the same problem again and i have got the microsoft bug report. So i will post it in files.
When i have try to open my WB model without open WB alone first. Ihad a fatal error on WB loading screen.
My configuration :
Windows XP pro,
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2,50 GHz
2,49 Ghz, 1,49 Go of RAM

could you maybe provide a model file where you encounter these crashes, and if possible, a step-by-step instruction how to reproduce the problem?
thanks in advance

I was able to open the model uploaded with 5.2.11 on 64-bit XP. So, this is something Vista/videocard specific maybe.

I don't think beacause contrary to Thomas McCloskey I am on 32-bit XP SP3.
I hade posted here beacause my bug shines similar to him

All,

we aren't furtune tellers ...

Please read: http://bugs.mysql.com/how-to-report.php

You will find there:

If the product is crashing, include a backtrace.

We need the backtrace here. Because without backtrace we are not able to say what is happening here.

I am going to close this bug.  I upgraded to Windows 7, and then re-installed MySql and Workbench.  I can't tell you how nervous this made me.  Since the community moved to workbench as the single entity for admin, I was terrified.  I am happy to report, using the latest version of the apps, and using Win 7, seems to have resolved the issue.  As I continue to explore WB, I will update other bugs as needed.

Sorry for not having been very talkative.  Project time overtook all other things.
