This bug manifests itself in a number of different ways. All seem to be related to no data being populated in what should be the ListModel panes. Another way to observe this issue is to run mysql-workbench and open the sakila_full model. Once open double click on one of the tables in the diagram. At the bottom in the middle is a pane that should have a "column" tab. Click on that tab and should see that it is blank. Normally that pane would have a list of all the fields and their attributes and allow you to add/modify/delete any of the columns.
This bug is a regression caused by changes in GLIB >= 2.42.2. It is rather severe in that it affects many aspects of the workbench from querying databases to editing the EER disagrams. This bug has been identified previously in Debian here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=763356 The issue is a glib regression with glib >= 2.42.0 .
