Description:
I wanted to run some SQL on my database, so I double clicked on the link on the left hand side. I was asked for a password as normal, but then instead of taking me to the database, a message box came up with the message

Value of '-2' is not valid for 'SplitterDistance'. 'SplitterDistance' must be greater than 0.
Parameter name: SplitterDistance

I tried again and the same thing happened, and I closed Workbench and opened it again but still the same thing happened. It was working fine yesterday and I haven't changed it at all since then, so I don't know why this has suddenly started happening. Perhaps it has updated itself? I can still access the database from the command line.

How to repeat:
Open Workbench.
Double click the link in the lefthand box.
Enter your password when prompted.
