Bug #64820	Spaces can't be inserted into fields if shift is held down

Tags:	can not insert space, column, field, held down, holding, insert, shift, space, workbench

Description:
Entering data into workbench directly on any field with the shift key held down will prevent a space from being entered. This becomes an annoyance on one-off data inserts or edits for fields that require the data to entered in all caps. It may cause incorrect data to be entered for anyone not paying close enough attention.

Inserting or altering data with caps-lock does not seem to cause the same issue.

How to repeat:
Click on any field to edit or create in a table and hold shift while pressing spacebar. 

Suggested fix:
Allow the space character to be entered while holding shift.

Thank you for the bug report. Verified on 32-bit Windows XP.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 5.2.46, and here's the changelog entry:

On Microsoft Windows, holding down "Shift" with the "Spacebar" would not
enter a space.

Thank you for the bug report.
