Hi, thank you for bug report. That hang is because of wrong start/stop command. To fix it edit your connection, go to system profile tab and there use below commands to start/stop server (see reference: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/osx-installation-launchd.html):
start: launchctl load -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist
stop: launchctl unload -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist
