Bug #66142	Disabling code completion doesn't work when Workbench crashes.

Description:
I have quite a few tabs open at all times (generally around 15 to 20). I experience a crash every now and then, not sure what the reason for the crash is and I am unsure how to fetch the crash report in such instance but Workbench restores most of my working tabs in place, kudos for that.

Code completion which I saw on by default since 5.2.41 isn't to my liking. I see way too many options instead of the desired options (for instance, when I do a select count(*) from MyDB. it displays various options though TableNames for the MyDB should be displaying). I unchecked Code Completion and while it worked, it returned back after the crash.

It is a minor annoyance. Just thought you should be aware of it.

How to repeat:
Uncheck code-completion in Edit->Preferences-> SQL Editor. Open various tabs and wait for a crash. You will see that code completion is 'on' though we turned it off.

I like this "wait for a crash"! WB in a nutshell! :-)

Obviously WB saves the setting at (normal) shutdown.  So maybe you could change the setting and close the program at once.  Then I think it will be saved.

I tried saving the setting but it still did not save after the crash!

Please try version 5.2.42. Thanks.
