Bug #65980	"Query Database" generates "Connection Cancelled" message when not maximized

Category:	MySQL Workbench: SQL Editor	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	5.2.40 CE REV 8790	OS:	Windows (Server 2003 R2 x86)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	2003, R2, server, VMWARE, windows, x86

Description:
I am using VMWare v4.x Player on Windows 7 Pro x64 on a core i7 ASUS laptop with 8GB of RAM. I run various Windows guests as VMs.

I have an external LCD onto which I _usually_ extend the Windows desktop and the external monitor is set to 1440x900). I have replicated the problem under both single monitor and extended monitor configurations.

The behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes I cannot get MySQLWB to launch at all. The issue does seem to be affected by the Windows screen resolutions and Window states of the VM Guest and the MySQLWB app.

I have tried using MySQL WB from two different Windows guest VMs, both server 2003 R2 x86 boxes.

If the VM guest is started and maximized on any either the laptop or external display, using eitehr automatic or fixed screen resolutions, and then MySQLWB is launched maximized, I can use the "Query Database" operation and get a SQL Editor window.

Launching MySQLWB from any Windows guest VM that is not maximized to the host screen size and has MySQLWB in an unmaximized state yields the "Connection Cancelled" message. No errors are visible in the wb.log file.

How to repeat:
1. Launch the Windows Server 2003 R2 guest OS
2. Restore the guest window if it is maximized
3. Login and launch MySQLWB
4. Use any method to open the SQL Query Editor (double click a connection, menu ite, or right-mouse click)

1. Launch the Windows Server 2003 R2 guest OS
2. Maximize the VM Guest window if it is not maximized
3. Login and launch MySQLWB
4. Use any method to open the SQL Query Editor (double click a connection, menu ite, or right-mouse click)

Suggested fix:
Not sure - seems to have something to do with Windows display properties.

Hi Andy,

I had the same problem this morning on a new installation von win 2003 srv. It's a VM for testing purpose. Installing workbench-gpl-5.2.42-win32 and then connecting brought me to the BUG "Connection Cancelled". I uninstalled that version an I tried mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.25-win32. This version works.

Well I don't know if it's a matter of win 2003 srv. 

Best regards,
