Guidelines for Catalina

The current version of mysqlworkbench (8.0.23) for Catalina at time of writing (June 2021) is 8.0.23 which appears to be buggy for certain updates of Catalina. Dropping down one version to 8.0.22 worked for me as follows.
If already installed then remove first.
brew uninstall --cask mysqlworkbench
Download formula for 8.0.22.

Now install.
brew install --cask mysqlworkbench-8.0.22.rb
