Description:
It is possible to open model files via "Open Model..." and "Open Recent" over and over.

But if I open a model in Workbench, then try to open another model by e.g. selecting it from the Windows 7 jump list, Workbench will ask whether to open the new model which I confirm.

It will then close the previous model file and return to the Home page but will not open the new file.

From then on, I cannot open any other files any more, not even with "Open Model..." or "Open Recent...".

How to repeat:
Pin Workbench to Windows Task Bar.
Open a model.
Open another model from the jump list under the Workbench icon from the Task Bar.
It fails.

Suggested fix:
Just open what I ask it to.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 5.2.45, and here's the changelog entry:

Windows: A model would fail to load when opened from 
the Microsoft Windows 7 taskbar if a different model 
was already open.

Thank you for the bug report.
