Here is the error thrown.

We are sorry for the inconvenience but an unexpected exception has been raised by one of the MySQL Workbench modules. In order to fix this issue we would kindly ask you to file a bug report. You can do that by pressing the [Report Bug] button below.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to help us improve MySQL Workbench!

How to repeat:
The steps below were followed from the HELP file to type queries in the SQL Editor tab. Exception error was thrown after typing line 14 "SELECT."

10.	You can also carry out a similar check from within MySQL Workbench. Click on the Home screen tab. 
11.	Click the link Open Connection to start Querying in the SQL Development section of the Workspace. This will launch the Connect to Database dialog. Select “Big Iron Server” from the drop down listbox. Click OK. 
12.	A new SQL Editor tab will be displayed. In the SQL Statements area enter the following code: 
13.	USE dvd_collection;
14.	SELECT * FROM movies;
15.	Now click the Execute SQL Script in Connected Server toolbar button. This resembles a small lightning bolt. The SQL Editor will display a new Result tab contain the result of executing the SQL statements.

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

Selecting the Help->System Info also causes the MySQL Workbench to stop working. This error is persistent even after restarting the program.

When the error occurs while doing the various actions that trigger crashes for you, right click in the 
crash dialog and select "Copy Stack trace" then paste them here. Thanks

Here's a stack trace of an error after I copied a table from Microsoft Access and pasted it onto a created table in MySQL Workbench (Employee hire date and Region ID were accidentally mismatched between two tables).
