I create a new table. It uses the default name and data type for the PK. I click on the second row for a new column, and change the default column name. The dropdown for datatypes is empty. If I type a character there, it gets cleared. If I actually click on the dropdown arrow, I see the very tall space for the list, but it's all blank, and I have to kill the process. It's not totally frozen, in that I can resize the window, but it doesn't respond in any other way. In the console, I see lots of repeated "(mysql-workbench-bin:23275): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_event: assertion `WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed" and I have to kill the console window - CTL-C doesn't seem to work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open any model. 2. Edit any table. 3. Select the dropdown for datatype for any column in the table. Actual Results: Tall, blank area on screen where list of data types should be, and app becomes unresponsive to anything except window resize. Expected Results: The list would show available datatypes, and I could select one. Posting as new bug per comment 65 in bug 238507, which also suggests assigning directly to owner of the overlay Hans de Graaff.
It turns out that if I select the datatype field, the up and down arrows do scroll through the list of available types, and if I hit ENTER, it does save the currently selected type. However, if I try to type anything, the field goes blank, and scrolling starts from the top of the list.
Seems to be fixed in 4.2.15. I'll reopen if it comes back.
