Description:
I was attempting to reverse engineer my database into a MySQL Workbench Model. Upon filtering tables, I get the generic "MySQL Workbench has encountered a problem" error.

If I choose to continue without filtering, an error with the following message pops up:

"error compiling regex this version of PCRE is compiled without UTF support"

How to repeat:
1. Create/open a MySQL Workbench Model
2. Create a diagram
3. In the top option menu, click "Database", then "Reverse engineer..."
4. Go through the process as usual until you have to select tables to reverse engineer
5. Try to filter them or to continue
6. Error message pops up.

Hello Jonas Clément,

Thank you for the report and steps.
Verified as described on win7 with WB 6.3.9.

Thanks,
Umesh

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.
