Description:
When using an 8192 bit RSA key to connect via Standard TCP/IP over SSH, the application hangs until I forcefully close it. This makes connecting to the desired MySQL instance impossible without swapping keys or using an external SSH tunnel.

How to repeat:
Generate 8192 bit SSH key
Add key to Workbench (TCP/IP over SSH)
Crash

I forgot to mention that I tested with an invalid 1024 bit key and it prompted for password instead of hanging.

Thank you for the bug report. Are you able to connect with the host with these keys outside of WorkBench?. Thanks.

Yes, connecting outside of Workbench is no problem.
