Description:
The "innodb_buffer_pool_size", "innodb_buffer_pool_instances" options file configuration parameters are duplicated in Server Administration window. They could be found in "Buffer Pool" and in "Memory" groups.

How to repeat:
1. Open MySQL Workbench.
2. Open Server Administration window for one of the existing connections.
3. Choose "Options File" in "Task and Object Browser".
4. Open "InnoDB" tab.
5. Make sure that "innodb_buffer_pool_size" and "innodb_buffer_pool_instances" configuration parameters exist in "Buffer Pool" group, as well as in "Memory" group.

Moreover: it's very tricky to get value of these parameters changed because of the unexpected behavior.

If you change the parameters values in "Buffer Pool" group and then click "Apply ...", you will got the followed script:

As you can see, the application removes and then adds the same values. Okay...

If you change the parameters values in "Memory" group and then click "Apply ...", you will got the followed script:

It seems that these options work as expected...

Suggested fix:
1. Remove duplicated configuration parameters (from "Buffer Pool" group ot from "Memory" group).
2. Make sure that "Apply ..." button generates correct script.

Fixed as of MySQL Workbench 6.0.8, and here's the changelog entry:

The "innodb_buffer_pool_size" and "innodb_buffer_pool_instances"
configuration parameters were duplicated in the "Options File" (formerly
the "Server Administration") tab. They were listed in both the "Buffer Pool"
and "Memory" groups". 

Also, using MySQL Workbench to change these settings
would generate a change that also altered whitespace in the MySQL
configuration file.

Thank you for the bug report.
