I can confirm the buggy behaviour, it is not new to 3.5 though, it has been
around since we first released LO, although I can't remember now if I opened a
bug report at the time (nobody seems to care much for mysql connection
problems, what with the past history, with it being Oracle and all that -
unfortunate, but true).

If I find an original bug report, I'll mark this as a duplicate, but confirming
in the meantime.

Also, there is a workaround : you can use the native mysql connector instead of
ODBC, which does have the added advantage of not suffering from the object
limitations of the ODBC driver.

Which other software are you using on Mac via ODBC to gain access to your mysql
database ? 

I have also tried the Actual Technologies driver, but that fails too when
fetching the records (the table list displays though, so it goes one better
than mysql's ODBC driver)

http://www.actualtech.com/

but, this is also proprietary, and you have to fork out 35 USD for it, which is
probably not everyone's cup of tea (especially if it doesn't work ;-))
