Description:
Latest version (5.2.44) is unable to connect to database and errors out.  While it allows for creating a new
 connection and on clicking "Test Connection" it reports successful connection with pop-up.  And once this connection 
shows up under "SQL Development" - "Open Connection" and double clicking it, it throws an error.  

Successful connection happens only to those databases which don't require password. 

----- Developer Notes -----

MySQL Workbench CE for Mac OS X version 5.2.44  revision 9933
Configuration Directory: $HOME/Library/Application Support/MySQL/Workbench
Data Directory: /Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/Resources
Cairo Version: 1.9.1
OS: Darwin 11.4.2
CPU: 8x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2675QM CPU @ 2.20GHz, 8.0 GB RAM

How to repeat:
Scenario 1:
1. Click on "New connection"
2. Provide all the db connection info and store password in keychain
3. Click "Test Connection"
    If it successfully connects, then 4. Click "OK".

Now in main WB window under Open Connections double the new connection created and connection fails with 
message like "….Access denied for USER …using password: NO!

Scenario 2:
Under slightly different scenario with no password stored in Keychain, during the new connection creation and 
testing it, a pop-up requests for password and tests goes well.  But connection appears under "Open Connection…"
the problem repeats without WB requesting PW from the user.

Scenario 3:
In both above scenarios right click and open "Command line…" and terminal window opens requesting password.
