Description:
Not work properly on monitors with 1280x720 resolution

How to repeat:
I can not maximize the window and not see the status bar.

Discovery this: In the file wb.glade

<property name="width_request">1024</property>
<property name="height_request">680</property>
<property name="window_position">center</property>
<property name="default_width">1024</property>
<property name="default_height">720</property>

Suggested fix:
Changing to this, worked for me:

<property name="width_request">600</property>
<property name="height_request">400</property>
<property name="window_position">center</property>
<property name="default_width">600</property>
<property name="default_height">400</property>

Workbench has a minimum screen requirement of 1024x768. While many of Workbenchs interface parts would work with lower windows height too, some of them are too large.
we can try to improve that in future versions

My monitor is 17 wide, 1280x720 resolution. But there's bars and prevents the maximization.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.0.2 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Window placement improvements were made for using MySQL Workbench with lower
screen resolutions than the minimum screen resolution requirement of
1024x768.

Thank you for the bug report.
