Thank you for the bug report. Duplicate of https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=87380

This is how I resolved the issue on Centos 7.

# Used Version 6.3.8.
# Versions 6.2.5 - 6.3.4 did not show the results grid
# Version 6.3.9 and 6.3.10 will not open.
wget http://repo.mysql.com/yum/mysql-tools-community/el/7/x86_64/mysql-workbench-community-6.3....
yum install rpm mysql-workbench-community-6.3.8-1.el7.x86_64.rpm -y
yum install tinyxml

# Disabled because mysql-workbench 6.2.5-1 works and 6.3.10-1.el7 does not.  I do not want an update.

The workaround provided is to use version Workbench version 6.3.8. This is not a fix to the current issue with version 6.3.9 and 6.3.10.

Why release new versions of software with known critical defects which make them useless on RHEL v7, CentOS v7 and Oracle Linux v7?
