Bug #66664 Values from functions not preserved in user defined variables

Description:
The following statement yields a blank result for "TEST" in MySQL Workbench:
SELECT NOW() INTO @a;SELECT @a as 'TEST';

However, in MySQL CLI the same query gives this, correct, result:

mysql> SELECT NOW() INTO @a;SELECT @a as 'TEST';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

+---------------------+
| TEST                |

Tested this in Mac OS X 10.6.8, WB 5.2.42 and MySQL 5.5.14-enterprise-commercial-advanced and received the expected results. Screenshot attached below.

I seems that this issue might be related to the MySQL server version.

The blank result was with 5.0.67-log, and I have now tested with 5.5.25a which indeed gives to desired result.

It then would seem that this is not a MySQL Workbench bug.

Are you using the correct execute all command instead of execute current statement?
