Bug #82268	Mysql Workbench queries not working through odbc connection

Description:
Mysql Workbench has a tendency to timeout sometimes when running a query. The error that comes up is "error code: 2013 Lost Connection to Mysql Server at 'waiting for initial communication packet".

I'm running very small queries on tables not larger than 40k of records, though it is through a odbc connection. Is there a workaround available for this issue or a way of identifying if it is a problem with my side of the connection or the other side through the odbc?

How to repeat:
Is completely random, however normally happens 5-10 minutes into using mysql workbench.

Thank you for the bug report. Please provide the exaclty version of WorkBench, The OS are you running and the MySQL server version you are connection to and a scree-shot when you are setting the ODBC connection. Thanks.

I am using Mysql Workbench 6.3.7 and Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. I can send you a screenshot of the connection, however I will take out any username details for obvious security reasons.

Thank you for the details and screenshot.
I'm seeing this issue on Win7 with WB 6.3.7 with connection method "Standard TCP/IP over SSH".

That's exactly the issue. Any suggestions on a workaround or is this a issue with Mysql Workbench that will need to be resolved?
