Bug #93439	Data Import stuck at Starting, no progress bar progress

Description:
When I click Server > Data Import, select a self-contained file to import (.sql) (with or without a default database) (all the rest as default), the import starts but the progress bar is always gray and Status always says Starting... 

I can't tell what it's doing or if it's doing anything.

Activity Monitor says CPU's around 0.3%, memory isn't shifting much... an export of the DB worked (though it only changed Status after it was done), so I really can't tell if it's running or stuck. I'm able to import with progress bar in another app like Sequel Pro.

How to repeat:

Suggested fix:
No idea... looks like a bug.

Thank you for the bug report. I couldn't repeat on MacBook Pro.

I had this issues today with Mysql WorkBenach 8.0.40 build 4610070 on MacBook Pro M2. What seems to be the problem for me was, that the mysql command issues from Workbench didn't pass passwoth to the mysql command. 
I copied the command issues from workbench and added the parameter --password=.... 
Then the import run without problems
