Cannot select a column when trying to create a foreign key (`contacts` table , field user_id of type INT referencing column id of `users` table which is PK).

How to repeat:
Create 2 tables:

CREATE TABLE users
(
      id INT PRIMARY KEY,
      name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
      email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
      access_token VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
);

CREATE TABLE contacts
(
      id INT PRIMARY KEY,
      user_id INT NOT NULL,
      mobile_phone VARCHAR(50)
);

Then try to create a foreing key for `contacts` table.

Hello Ivan Berkovich,

Thank you for the bug report.
I tried to reproduce your issue on windows 11 with workbench 8.0.36 using tables given but I am not seeing any issues at my end. Please provide screenshot of the issue.

Sorry, now I can't reproduce it too. Maybe it was a temporary bug.
