Description:
When importing any file the log shows:

 "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysql.exe" --defaults-file="c:\users\erwin\appdata\local\temp\tmpfqgmjf.cnf"  --protocol=tcp --host=localhost --user=erwin --port=63742 --default-character-set=utf8 --comments  < "F:\\Users\\Erwin\\Documents\\dumps\\dump20170302.sql"

This is a correct command line (as in put it in cmd.exe and it works)

Sadly the following thing gets executed:

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysql.exe" --defaults-file="c:\users\erwin\appdata\local\temp\tmpfqgmjf.cnf"  --protocol=tcp --host=localhost --user=erwin --port=63742 --default-character-set=utf8 --comments  < "F:\\Users\\Erwin\\Documents\\dumps\\

As the full commmand

So that is what Task manager will show.
A correct command to execute would be 

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysql.exe" --defaults-file="c:\users\erwin\appdata\local\temp\tmpfqgmjf.cnf"  --protocol=tcp --host=localhost --user=erwin --port=63742 --default-character-set=utf8 --comments

And input the file into stdin (this is what cmd does)

Server is Ubuntu xenial MySQL 5.7.17 connected via SSH.

How to repeat:
Import any files (be it self-contained or project folder)

And check task manager for the mysql.exe process and the command-line it reports. (It is also stuck at a very low memory usage.)

Use a tool like htop/top on the server to see any activity.

Now copy the reported command from workbench into a cmd.exe window and press enter. You will see a second mysql.exe spawn which rapidly rises in memory usage and network activity. (This import works flawlessly)

Suggested fix:
Run the command as a process and input the sql via the stdin (so workbench reads the file)

I have tried and reproduced the issue again in the new version.

I will attach a screenshot.

Screenshot of TaskMgr and workbench when the problem occurs. About 5 minutes after starting the import. (Very small sql file)
