Description:
Changing datatype doesn't update datatype in diagram although tooltips gets updated and shows datatype correctly. The bug wasn't present in 5.1.16 nor is present in 5.2.2a. Just 5.1.17.

How to repeat:
Start Workbench. Create diagram. Place table. Add a column. Let it update the diagram. Then change the datatype of that column. Press enter. Diagram doesn't update.

Suggested fix:
Invoke refresh after datatype change?

Same problem in Mac OS X as reported in http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=46943 (duplicate).  Will attach screenshot to this post.

this has been fixed.
fix will be included in 5.1.18

An entry was added to the 5.1.18 changelog:

When the datatype of a table column was changed in the Table Editor, it was not reflected in the EER Diagram, although the tooltip was udpated correctly. This only happened in MySQL Workbench 5.1.17.
