Description:
Nearly everytime I exit workbench it hangs.  Often I am forced to kill the process.  I can even simply open a db connection and then try to exit.

How to repeat:
Open workbench.  Open a few query tabs, including at least one function call in a tab.  Try and exit.

The above is my common use case, but I can even just open workbench, open my db connection and then try to exit.  Even that hangs often.

Please try version 6.0.8

Is there an easy prepackaged way for Ubuntu 13.04?  Ubuntu thinks I have the latest.

Ah I remember now.  I tried upgrading and I got:

meownan@EQEMU-SERVER:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i mysql-workbench-community-6.0.8-1ubu1204-amd64.deb  
(Reading database ... 504215 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking mysql-workbench-community (from mysql-workbench-community-6.0.8-1ubu1204-amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing mysql-workbench-community-6.0.8-1ubu1204-amd64.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/mysql-workbench/libwbpublic.so', which is also in package mysql-workbench 5.2.38+dfsg-3
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mysql-workbench-community-6.0.8-1ubu1204-amd64.deb

Im guessing that the existing stuff is ubuntu's prepackaged stuff?

Try the official download site at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/tools/workbench/

Yes, thats what I tried to install from when I got those messages.

I am guessing that that release won't install on top of what I have?  I'm loathe to remove all my packages..  is that what I have to do.

The output I pasted there (above) is what I get when trying to install the release form the official site.

The package you tried to install if for Ubuntu 12.04, but you say you have 13.04? Anyway, the error you got installing is because you have another very old version installed. Just do an apt-get remove mysql-workbench  first and you should be fine.

The 13.04 was my mistake.  I have 12.04.

I'll try removing the old one.  I'm pretty sure its fine, but I want to ask anyway - all my mysql data will be safe?

Yes, removing Workbench will leave both your MySQL and Workbench data and configs untouched.

Installed - I'll let you know how it goes.

Please try version 6.1

This works fine now in the latest version/

Thank you for the feedback.
