No error message displayed on MYSQL Workbench latest version

I am running the latest version of MYSQL Workbench on a clean ubuntu 14.04 install, using the ubuntu package version.

When I run a valid query, it works fine, e.g.:

select * from users;

At the bottom of the window in what I would call the 'Status Bar' it says 'Executing Query...' for a few seconds while the query runs, and then changes to 'Query Completed' and displays the results.

So far so good.

If I then change the query to something invalid, e.g. :

select * from invalid_table;

The status bar says 'Executing Query...' and stays that way. I cannot see the error message reported anywhere.

If I run the same query in a terminal I get:

mysql> select * from invalid_table;
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'mydb.invalid_table' doesn't exist

Surely the error message should show in workbench? Am I missing something here?

Did you hide the output panel?

View->panels -> show the output area

Or you may drag the output panelmini. You can move your mouse above the status bar , the mouse will turn to double arrow icon, then drag it and the output panel will show .

The error is displayed within the Output History panel, at the bottom. It's possible your bottom panel is deactivated, or hidden. The linked documentation includes annotated screenshots and examples.
