Description:
I'm trying to delete a column (field) in the MySQL Table Editor by right clicking field name under the column name as it's says on the following page.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-editor-columns-tab.html

I tried with CONTROL + Click and with a right mouse click but all it does is enter the field so that I can edit it.

I can right click on the table above and I get the menu with no problem.

Hope it's just not me...

How to repeat:
Create a table in the MySQL Table Editor, add a new column and right click on the new column just created.

Fixed Cmd-Delete shortcut to delete columns from table

deleting columns via popup menu or Cmd+Backspace is possible now.
fixed in 5.2.4

An entry was added to the 5.2.4 changelog:

On Mac OS X using cmd + backspace to delete a column in the table editor did not work.
