Description:
When the stored connections dialog is up, it's not possible to select TCP/IP over SSH as the connection type.

How to repeat:
 - Start MySQL workbench.
 - File|New model
 - Database|Reverse engineer
 - Select 'stored connections' in the dropdown
 - It's not possible to select TCP/IP over SSH as the connection type

Suggested fix:
Make all connection types available.

Why do you need SSH for SQL transfer?

You only need SSH for editing my.cnf, start/stop server and so on. But not for firing SQL statements.

The reason is to access MySQL servers that are not on public-facing IPs.

ie: Servers accessible either by TCP port bound to 127.0.0.1 on the target system.
