Description:
when exporting model to sql script it is possible to select which tables to export by using Show Filter / Hide Filter button. but when the list of tables is presented it is so narrow that you cannot guess which tables are shown, especially if you have a database name of more than 10 characters (in my case it takes all the space in the list leaving just a first letter of the table name visible).

the bug appeared in 5.1.13

How to repeat:
- File / Export / Forward Engineer SQL Script

- [Continue]

- [Show Filter]

Suggested fix:
change database name to something less than 5 chars and, if your tables names are still too long just guess in which order they follow. then modify exported script to restore the original database name.

list of exported tables too narrow

Thank you for the problem report. Verified just as described. Same problem with WB 5.2.1 also.

this has been fixed. fix will be included in 5.1.15

An entry was added to the 5.1.15 changelog:

In the Forward Engineer SQL Script wizard, when the Show Filter button was clicked, the left hand panel containing database and table names was too narrow, especially if a long database name or table name was used. This made it hard to determine which tables to select.
