Description:
The collapsed or minimized state of the workbench central section of the homepage should be remembered between process sessions.  Closing the program should save the state of the bar, and it should stay in this state when opening the program again.  Keeping this collapsed helps save a lot of vertical space on the home screen.

How to repeat:
1.  Collapse the workbench central bar (click the small black arrow on the right side in the header).  
2.  Close the program
3.  Open the program

Suggested fix:
Remember the state of the Workbench Central bar.

fix confirmed in repository

An entry has been added to the 5.2.32 changelog:

The collapsed state of Workbench Central, on the Home screen, was not saved between MySQL Workbench sessions. If after collapsing Workbench Central to save vertical space, the application was exited and restarted, then Workbench Central was drawn in the expanded state.

A big thank you for taking care of this! :)
