Description:
In the table editor, if you select from the "Datatype" before entering the "Column Name", when you change focus away from "Datatype" Workbench will create one or more extra columns.

This happens for creating a new table or altering an existing table.

How to repeat:
Open Workbench, create a new table, select a datatype, press TAB.

This issue applies to the legacy MySQL Workbench 8.x implementation that is no longer supported or maintained.
MySQL Workbench 26.7 is a complete rewrite using a new technology stack and does not use the affected legacy implementation.
Therefore, this issue is not applicable to the current MySQL Workbench product and as such is closed.
