Description:
I Exported a db to make a backup with MySQL Workbench 'Data Export' function.
But when I needed the backup, I discovered that it had no data (only the tables structure).
After a few research, I noticed that the 'skip table data' checkbox can be checked also by accidentally clicking in the area above the 'Start Export' button.
Probably I clicked in that area after changing the default name of the output file (lot of programmers often click out of a textbox area after write in it, to make it loose focus and to make shure that it has take the new content).
I think that allow to select a checkbox by clicking 20cm away from it can lead to very dangerous mistakes.
Thank you very much.

How to repeat:
Go in MySQL Workbench 'Data Export' form.
click in the area above the 'Start Export' button, on the rigth of a checkbox and see that it'll be checked.

Suggested fix:
Allow to check a checkbox only by clicking on it or on his label.

Thank you for the bug report. If actually you are using the older version 6.0 please try the new 6.2.3. Thanks.

In Workbench 6.2 there isn't no more 'skip table data' checkbox.
The other checkboxes suffer from the same problem, but them are less dangerous in case of selecting by mistake.
Thank you!
