Description:
When I installed Workbench, it worked fine for a week, then unexpectedly when I tried to make a connection to my local MySQL server in the SQL editor the program crashed with the following arror:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: MySQLWorkbench.exe
Application Version: 5.2.34.7780

I could use the other program modules (i.e. admin, modelling) without problems. I tried disabling my fingerprint reader, using stored profiles, new profiles, typing the parameters manually and creating a new MySQL user, all with the same result. I tried "repairing" the app (an over the top install through add/remove programs in the Windows control panel). No good. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Bingo!

About two weeks later the same problem recurred. Before reinstall I decided to try running under my administrator account. It works, but I don't know for how long.

How to repeat:
The trouble seems to be in the code that varies per windows user account. The bug doesn't immediately appear when the workbench is installed, but once it does appear it happens every time I attempt to connect from my Windows user account in the SQL editor.

Suggested fix:
No Idea!!

Could you please provide the output of Help->System Info. Thanks.

I've experienced a similar problem on Windows Vista.

However, I've found that creating a new connection to the localhost/database schema has fixed the problem.  So the problem could be linked to a corrupted database connection.

Please, check if the same problem still happens with a newer version, 5.2.35.

I installed the newest version and it seems to have resolved the problem. I will let you know if the problem recurs, but this seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your prompt resolution to the problem. It really means a lot to me. This is why I maintain my decision to switch to MySQL.

I also would like to say that the new windows installer is a real improvement. Very polished. It was much easier to determine what components have updates available, and the visual appearance is much improved. Keep up the good work.

Looks like the problem is not repeatable with 5.2.35. Please, re-open this report in case of similar crash with 5.2.35 or newer version.

I have exactly the same error on Win7 X64 using version 5.2.36
Is there a workaround?

After downgrading to 5.2.34 I can connect again just fine. No saved setting were lost. The older version just works.

I'm experiencing the same issue with 5.2.44. A full MySQL re-install did not solve the problem:
