Description:
Using 6.1.4 MySQL Workbench to connect to MySQL server 5.5.6-rc, I can create schema and table in model ( File >> New Model >> Add Table ).

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `test_schema`.`test` (
  `id` BIGINT(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`))
ENGINE = InnoDB
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = utf8
COLLATE = utf8_general_ci;

Then File >> Save.  Then Database >> Forward Engineer [and complete wizard succesfully].  

How to repeat:
Then Database >> Forward Engineer [set parameter to connect to dbms] >> next >> [set options for database to be created] >> next >> [select objects to forward engineer] >> next >> crash!!  This happens every time after the first time.

Suggested fix:
A work-around that seems to not induce crash is to delete a table from the model and use reverse engineer to add it back to the model.  Then, forward engineer won't crash ( the first time ).

I'm having this same issue, the only difference is that I'm running Linux (OpenSuSE 13.1 64bits)

Find attached the debug log. Thanks!

mysql workbench crash log when doing forward engineer on 6.1.4-75.1 x86_64

BTW, the way to reproduce is to try to generate inserts, so:

1. Open a simple model
2. Add a table
3. Add some data in the "inserts" tab of the table metadata
4. Try to forward engineer it checking the option "Generate INSERT statements for tables"

If I either uncheck the generate insert option or I don't have any data then the forward operation completes succesfully.

Thanks in advance!

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.1.6 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Executing the "Select Objects to Forward Engineer" step in the Forward
Engineering wizard would crash MySQL Workbench each time the wizard is
executed after the first time. In other words, the wizard would only
execute every step with success during its initial (first) execution.

Thank you for the bug report.
