macOS - Workbench will not re-open after all windows are closed

[Mitch Talmadge]

I am using macOS Sequoia 15.1 on an M2 Max MacBook Pro.

When closing all of the windows of MySQL Workbench, then trying to launch Workbench again (by clicking the dock icon or by searching the app name), nothing happens. I have to manually quit and re-launch MySQL Workbench by right-clicking on the dock icon, clicking "Quit," then clicking the dock icon again.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open MySQL Workbench.
2. Close the window with the red X.
3. Try to open Workbench again:
a. Click on the icon pinned to the dock -- nothing happens.
b. Push Command-Space, type "MySQL Workbench", and press enter -- nothing happens.

Ideally, I would expect that MySQL Workbench would fully quit after all windows are closed, since it seemingly has nothing it needs to do in the background. This would solve the issue, since launching the app after quitting works fine.

P.S. This is not a new bug. I have been dealing with it since day 1 on macOS since I switched from Windows a few years ago. I just manually quit and re-open it, which is annoying.
