Description:
While in a SQL editor session with a remote server, the workbench application crashes.  

I'm on WiFi to a cable ISP to a mysql server on LunarPages.

Let me know if you want me to do more testing. ecrane57@gmail(dot)com

How to repeat:
The workbench is asking for a password multiple times (as I did not check the automatic password checkbox).  It crashes when pressing ok on the password dialog box.
Sometimes the workbench does not crash when entering the pw.

Suggested fix:
I will try saving the password, where I have had no issues.

When you'll get this error again, please, right click somewhere in the error dialog box with no text and use Copy stack trace to clipboard context menu item. Send stack trace to this report.
