Description:
MySQL Workbench 6.1
Clicking the start/stop server button does nothing.
This is the log after clicking the Stop server button twice.
2014-08-31 22:12:01 - Workbench will use cmd shell commands to start/stop this instance

2014-08-31 22:12:01 - Server is running
2014-08-31 22:12:06 - Server stop done.
2014-08-31 22:12:06 - Checking server status...

It used to work before I tried uninstalling/reinstalling everything using the latest Community Edition Pack. For some reason it decided to never work anymore.

How to repeat:
Click the Start/Stop Server button.

Suggested fix:
Change the script(?) for the button.
Or allow the uninstaller to completely remove all settings from previous installation to allow a "clean" installation.
