Description:
I connected to remote MySQL database (TCP/IP over SSH) via  MySQLWorkBench, finished my work and closed the tab for the particular connection but left the MySQLWorkBench open as I had local dev MySQL connection that I was still using.  I left it like that overnight with laptop "asleep".  When I "woke up" the laptop, after a while, MySQLWorkbench automatically tried to connect to the remote DB and popped up a window asking me to type a password for the remote db.  Had I stored the password, it would have gone ahead and connected and opened up a tab for the remote db (I'm assuming).  If I wasn't paying attention, I could have done something that I shouldn't on the db thinking it was my local dev connecton.  More than anything, it was kind of alarming that it tried to connect on its own without me initiating a connection.

How to repeat:
Please see my description.

please try with most recent version of Workbench (5.2.26) if the problem is still appearing.
thanks in advance

I got the latest version (5.2.28 Rev 6725) and it is still happening.  Same procedure to reproduce as noted in my initial post.  Thanks very much.

Did this happen with SQL Editor or Administration?

I had SQL_Editor tabs (multiple) open connected to remote databases.  I hadn't done any administration during that particular session.  It doesn't have to be a remote database to cause this error.  It also happens when I'm connected to the local db on my laptop.

I haven't been able to repeat the bug exactly as described, but I can see that connections are still open after the editor tab is closed.

possible fix confirmed in repository. as i am also not able to reproduce the problem i'll set it to fixed - please try once next release is available and reopen if the problem still appears.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.31 changelog:

MySQL Workbench attempted to reconnect to a connection that had previously been closed in the SQL Editor, after the computer woke from the sleep state.
