Bug #86013	forward engineer filter table objects not working

Description:
I want to forward engineer my model but only for certain tables that I made updates to. I used the forward engineering wizard and at the third step "select objects to forward engineer" I click "show filter" and try to move my objects to the right box but none of the arrow buttons will let me do this, I get the "bug message" pop-up.

How to repeat:
This happened to me the second time I tried to forward engineer my model during one running session for Workbench. The first time was successful, my DB was created but one table was missing two foreign key attributes (I know I didn't forget them in my model). So I decided to forward engineer again but exclude all other objects. I selected "drop object if exists" in the forward engineering wizard before moving on to "select objects" but I'm not sure this made a difference (I went back and tried it without that option).

Suggested fix:
The arrow buttons need to be activated in the filter part of step three in the forward engineering wizard.

The error I'm getting is "External component has thrown an exception"

Hello Alex Beaty,

Thank you for the report.
Verified as described with WB 6.3.9 on Win7.

Thanks,
Umesh

The same issue for this time w/WB 3.6.9 Build 10690321 CE 64 bits in W10.

Same here. On Windows 10 Pro.
I just cannot get past this step. This is quite a critical bug, blocker I'd say.

Simple steps:
1. Forwarg Engineer
2. Go to the next step, doesn't matter if you select or not any of the previous options.
3. Try to move any table to the right, pum, error.

I opened the log to see detailed information and this message is repeating every time I get the error (multiple tries - multiple errors):

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 8.0.12 release, and here's the changelog entry:

The filter arrows that select objects for forward or reverse engineering
within the wizards generated an error instead of moving the objects as
expected.

Thank you for the bug report.
