Description:
When a layer is deleted from the main workbench window (using Ctrl-Delete) then tables associated with that Layer are deleted from the Layers Dialog.

Re-creating a layer over the missing tables creates an empty layer - signified by bullet rather than triangle next to the Layer name.

How to repeat:
Create 2/3 tables on a workbench.  Tables will be listed in the "root" of the Layers dialog - not associated with a layer.

Drag a layer over the tables.  Tables are replace by a "New Layer" with triangle "twist" next to it.  Click the twist to show the original tables in the layer.

Select the layer in the main window by clicking on the title bar.  Use Ctrl-Delete to delete the layer - choose "Delete" when prompted.

Layer and associated tables will disappear from the Layer dialog.

Create a new layer over the same tables.  The created "New Layer" will have a bullet rather than a "twist" next to its name.

Suggested fix:
Restore the tables contained in a layer to the "root" of the Layers dialog when their layer is removed

In addition to previous submission - When recreating the Layer the missing tables are not included in the New Layer - they cannot be selected by any new Layer!
