results grid not showing on mysql workbench 6.3.9 for macOS sierra

Question

At firs it was working alright, but out of the blue it disappeared, and there is no way to bring it back. Note the gray area with the Apply and Revert buttons, where the results grid should be.

I also tried clicking on the EXPLAIN command icon, then it opens up the Explain pane, and the results grid is there (grayed out). If I click on it, it disappears.

This is driving me nuts.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Good News! 😃

Apparently this is a widespread bug on macOS High Sierra that was fixed in version 6.3.10 that was released Nov. 15th 2017.

They fixed it as described in the release notes: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/workbench/en/wb-news-6-3-10.html

Executing a query in MySQL Workbench on a host running macOS High Sierra failed to load the result grid completely, which prevented result data from appearing within the Result Grid tab. (Bug #26826418, Bug #87714)

Download it here: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/ (No need to uninstall the previous version, just overwrite it with the newer one)

Go there; MySQL Workbench 6.3 (Mac) hangs on simple queries

Still an issue for me on 6.3.9. But I'm running High Sierra (10.13 beta 9) so it might explain why .. Still, I'll probably have to install bootcamp partition.
