Answer 1

I had the same problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.10. I found this link which describes the steps to be followed in order to apply the patch. It takes a while since you have to start all over again: downloading, building, installing... but it worked for me! Sorry I'm not an expert and I can't provide further details.

Here are the steps described in the link above:

If you want to patch and build mysql-workbench yourself, get the source from for 6.2.3. From the directory you downloaded it to, do:

wget 'http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQLGUITools/mysql-workbench-community-6.2.3-src.tar.gz'

tar xvf mysql-workbench-community-6.2.3-src.tar.gz && cd mysql-workbench-community-6.2.3-src

wget -O patch-glib.diff 'http://bugs.mysql.com/file.php?id=21874&bug_id=74147'

patch -p0 < patch-glib.diff

sudo apt-get build-dep mysql-workbench

sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev

cd build

cmake .. -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release

make

sudo make install

Hope this can be helpful.

I had the same issue. Using MySQL 6.1 Workbench.

After a while (2 mins), it just crashed. Reported bug, saved files and reopened. It works now.

I guess I would suggest if that happens again, to immediately save the open scripts, close MySQL and restart it.

Answer 3

The problem is with the TAB. From the tab's title I assume you first made a right click > "Select Rows - Limit 1000". But when you enter a different query in the opening tab, it won't show anything any more... Don't know why. Open a new tab for manual queries, then it will work.

Answer 4

This was still happening to me on version 6.3.9 on OSX. I downloaded 6.1.7 again to actually see the result grid again.

What a pain in the butt!

Answer 5

The easiest fix for me to see the Result Grid again was to click on Explain Command

After that Execution Plan is going to be shown and on the right side you can click on Result Grid

This is a known bug: link. Upcoming release 6.2.2 fixes this for OS X (Unfortunately, Linux version is still broken).

At least on my computer it's not dissapeared, just folded, and it's edge is almost merged with the edge of 'Action Output' block. When you move your mouse to that edge, the cursor starts looking like a dash with two arrows. Slowly move it couple of pixels higher until you catch the small 1px area where the cursor changes to a dash with a single arrow. Then catch it and pull : )

I've made a couple of photos to illustrate this.
