Bug #55052	Right-click 'copy sql to clipboard' error alert

Description:
I've built a database model with multiple tables. When right-clicking a table and selecting 'copy sql to clipboard' in the EER diagram, an error pops up alerting me that something went wrong. There is no specific error code. 

Subsequent repeats of the same action works fine with no errors. The copy itself also works on the first attempt despite the error.

Also, when closing MySQL Workbench, the GUI closes but the process remains in the process list (WinXP, SP3). This is a serious issue, as the process is left with around 100MB RAM, and continuously utilize one processor core at 100%. The only way to free these resources is to manually kill the process. This is only a problem if the error in question has been trigged.

How to repeat:
Start/restart MySQL Workbench. Select a table in the EER diagram, right click it, and select 'copy SQL to clipboard'.

Does it happen with any table or with specific one? Can you upload problematic .mwb file to this report?

After having rebooted my PC I can't reproduce the problem any longer. Before reboot however, it applied to any table in any .mwb file, both newly created and old ones. Also tested on tables with and without foreign keys, with identical results. 

I'll see if I can get some time to reproduce the problem properly later today.

If you'll repeat the problem, please, add the results from Help > System Info menu item also.
