Description

Postico crashes when trying to add a column but the connection is disconnected.

This issue is exacerbated by the Auto-Disconnect feature. Disable automatic disconnect when idle in preferences as a workaround.

Research direction

Reproduce the crash while adding a column with a default value after disconnecting the connection, including with Auto-Disconnect enabled. Trace the failure from that operation and verify that adding the column no longer crashes when the connection is disconnected.
