Description:
When you're on the Home screen and click on File->New query tab, the program closes. You can see it tries to the open the SQL IDE screen for a short time before Workbench closes.
The log file on level debug2 shows the following:

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 8.0.12 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Attempting to open a new query tab from the home screen (File, New Query
Tab from the menu) closed MySQL Workbench.

Thank you for the bug report.
