On Mac OS X, the File, Open Recent feature would open the incorrect script. (Bug #13028666)

Viewing the Server Logs on a MySQL server after it has been stopped, resulted in an unhandled exception. (Bug #12908134)

MySQL Workbench required the Andale Mono font. (Bug #61782, Bug #12757325)

The Help, Check for Updates feature did not function properly. (Bug #63534, Bug #13463399)

For example, it would compare the first 60 characters of a table comment change, and generate an error if the change did not affect the first 60 characters.

From the MySQL Server 5.5.3 changelog: the maximum length of table comments was extended from 60 to 2048 characters. The maximum length of column comments was extended from 255 to 1024 characters. Index definitions now can include a comment of up to 1024 characters. (Bug #61626, Bug #12694146)

Case changes to ENUM values were not recognized by MySQL Workbench. (Bug #60478, Bug #11889204)

Database synchronization would sometimes confuse similar table and routine names. (Bug #61028, Bug #12656879)

Altering the case of a table name caused an error, when that was the only change and the SQL Identifiers are Case Sensitive option was set to true. (Bug #58808, Bug #11765806)

The Forward engineering feature now preserves case for schema names, even on case-insensitive systems. Before it would create lowercase variants of the schema names on these systems. (Bug #56237, Bug #11763520)

Within the Database, Forward Engineer dialogue for a Model, the DROP Objects Before Each CREATE Object option was ignored if the Export MySQL Table Objects option was not selected. (Bug #59200, Bug #11766157)
