Description of problem: You can type in the connection name, hostnaem, username, port, default schema boxes until you change the connection method. When you change the connection method, you can no longer type stuff in any of the input boxes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.2.42 How reproducible: Every time you go to add new connection and choose anything other than "standard (tcp/ip) from the connection method drop-down box. Steps to Reproduce: 1. click on new connection 2. pick anything from the connection method drop-down 3. input boxes no longer work Actual results: you cannot type in any of the input boxes Expected results: being able to type in a connection name, hostname, username, etc Additional info: The program started crashing a lot when connecting to a mysql server via ssh. So I deleted the ~/.mysql directory to let it recreate the settings again. Thats when I realized I couldn't set up my ssh connections.
