Description:
When Connect to Columns is chosen for the Relationship Notation option, there's a bug where the line connecting a foreign keys to its referenced table is not updated.

How to repeat:
In the EER Model view with Relationship Notation set to "Connect to Columns", creating a foreign key relationship in the Foreign Keys editor tab causes the visual link to connect to the first default Referenced Column in the dropdown (regardless which one is chosen from the dropdown). Hovering mouse over the link line highlights the correct columns in red, but the line itself connects to the invalid column.

Saving and restarting MySQL Workbench fixes the glitch.

Suggested fix:
Refresh rendering of the connector line every time a different Referenced Column is chosen from the dropdown.

Thank you for a bug report. Verified just as described.

I'm unable to repeat this in 5.1.16

fixed in version 5.1.17

An entry was added to the 5.1.17 changelog:

When Connect to Columns was selected for the Relationship Notation option, the line connecting a foreign key to its referenced table was drawn to the incorrect column.
