Description:
The autocomplete feature are not working in this system:

     - macOS Sierra 10.12.2
     - MySQL Workbench 6.3.9
     - MariaDB 10.1.19

I tried with older version of MySQL Workbench, also Mac OS El Capitan. This feature didn't worked never for me in MacOS with MariaDB. Any solution? Can I make something to being it working?

Thanks 

How to repeat:
Call MySQL Workbench and write in the SQL editor anything like SELECT, WHERE, some column or table, and nothing happens...

Thank you for the bug report. Attached picture shows the auto completion on Sierra MAC OS when connected to MySQL Server 5.7.17 your server version isn't supported.

For those impacted by this, you can hover your cursor in between the two sets of buttons and watch for it to change to draggable/up arrow. Once it does, if you drag upwards, you can reveal the missing panel.

Not ideal, but a workaround nonetheless. (see attached screenshots)
