MySQL Workbench Tabs refuse to close I'm using MySQL Workbench 6.1.6, and I have opened a SQL Editor Window and have 14 Query tabs open. If I close the connection, and then open the connection again from the Home page it reopens all 14 tabs. That's ok.

However, if I close the tabs, then close the connection, when I re-open the connection the tabs re-appear. I have tried closing the tabs and exiting workbench. I have tried closing the tabs and opening new ones, but each time the original 14 tabs re-appear.

Does anybody know of what I can do to get rid of these 14 tabs once and for all?
That's actually a bug. MySQL Workbench saves the tabs on close of the connection. To get rid of the unwanted tabs you could temporarily switch off the snapshot feature:
