Description:
Hello to all Mysql community,

Since yesterday I can't use anymore Mysql workbench because he crashes everytime at startup. See the error message below :

"Mysql workbench has encoutered a problem

Thanks a lot for taking the time to help us improve MySQL Workbench!

I was using Mysql workbench for like 1 month now and everything was fine, except rares crashes.
I work on a database that has around 150 tables, but with small amount of datas on each, so a dump size is around 5MB not more.

The only thing I remember that happened before that series of crashes is me trying to save one mysql open script tabs, and getting error messages like "error : string too long", but the tab was saved anyway. When trying to open this tab, I've had another error message that I can't really remember but it was a matter of size again, but the datas was shown anyway.
The crash happened at one more save attempt on this bugged tab, then it was impossible to start Mysql workbench normally again.

Here is the detail from Windows ^.^ (french version)

Thanks by advance for your help ! Hope this could help other users too.

How to repeat:
I don't know =)

Suggested fix:
I don't know either

Please check for duplicate with http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=70262 (check the workaround)also upgrade to 6.0.8. Thanks.

Thank for the redirection.

By deleting the script file who had a size defined at 0kb I managed to start again Mysql Workbench.
Could you tell me what should I do to prevent this bug from happening again in the future ?

Also please note that the check for upgrades in Mysql intaller does not suggest me to upgrade to Workbench 6.0.8 ;)

Thanks by advance

You can download WB 6.0.8 directly from dev.mysql.com/downloads
