title: MySQL Workbench 6.3.5 crashes when opening XAMPP MySQL local database
body: <p>I installed XAMPP for Windows (xampp-win32-5.6.14-4-VC11-installer) and am not able to open
  mySQL database. Here are the versions:</p>
  
  <p>XAMPP Control Panel v3.2.2
  MySQL Workbench 6.3.5</p>
  
  <p>Doing a standard TCP/IP connection at 127.0.0.1 on port 3306
  username: root
  password: not set yet, it is blank</p>
  
  <p>When I click on TEST CONNECTION the MySQL Workbench crashes:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>It looks like this version is not compatible with MariaDB which is a forked version of MySQL I believe that XAMPP is using nowadays:</p>
  
  <pre><code>13:52:57 [INF][      Workbench]: UI is up
