Description:
I just installed MySQL Workbench for the first time to see what it can do for me.

However, I'm greeted with a user interface for ants. Zoom to 50% to see the problem: http://i.imgur.com/nbyqSY9.png

A lot of time has gone into workbench, but this essentially makes it unusable (or at least not a pleasure to use).

How to repeat:
Install/start Workbench on a 4K/UHD/HiDPI/Retina monitor.

Suggested fix:
Do not hard-code font sizes but make them depend on the Desktop UI scaling factor.

Make image assets available in double- and quadruple-resolution, or better yet, scalable vector graphics.
