Description:
For the 'Setup New Connection' Dialog:

When the IPv6 address "::1" is used as hostname Workbench will create the service Mysql@::1:3306, which doesn't work.

When the IPv6 address is specified as "[::1]" it does work correctly. The service will then be MySQL@[::1]:3306

How to repeat:
Try to use ::1 as hostname

Suggested fix:
If there are colons in the hostname, then enclose the hostname in brackets.

Fixed as of MySQL Workbench 6.0.4, and here's the changelog entry:

Colons are now enclosed and recognized as a valid IPV6 hostname when using
the "Setup New Connection" dialog.

Thank you for the bug report.
