Description:
An "Unhandled exception: not a string" message appears when you try to stop the MySQL Server service just after install WB.
If you close/Open WB again, the message no longer appears.
*Reproduced in:*
Windows 8.1x64
OL 6.4
Basically in all OS
MySQL Server 5.6
WB 6.3.2.436

How to repeat:
1. Install WB.
2. Open a valid connection.
3. Go to the "Management tab->Startup shutdown".
4. Stop the service.
*Actual results:*
An "Unhandled exception: not a string" message appears when you try to stop the MySQL Server service just after install WB.
If you close/Open WB again, the message no longer appears.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.3.3 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Stopping a MySQL server service immediately after installing MySQL Workbench
would emit an "Unhandled exception: not a string" message. 

Workaround: restart MySQL Workbench. 

Thank you for the bug report.
