Description:
It looks like the table Editor got completely messed up with this release, making the tool absolutely unusable to create a DB Model from Scratch.  It looks like it is only saving the first column you create when you click the Apply buttun.  The other columns you add are still in the table editory, but once you close the table editor, they are gone.

I don't know what happened here, it used to be working OK, but with this version it seems to be completely broken.

How to repeat:
Start MySQL WorkBench
Create New Model
Drop a new Table on the Model.
Bring up the Table Editor.
Add a field F_TEST_ID, F_TEST_NAME, F_TEST_VALUE
You can click the apply button between adding the different columns, that makes no difference at all.
Leave the Table Editor open and look at the newly created table, it only has one field in it.
Press the close button on the table editor, same thing.
Reopen the table editor again for you new table, and the other fields are gone.

Please, try to repeat with a newer version, 1.1.5 alpha, and inform about the results.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described with one exception: in my case second column was saved.

windows xp sp2 1.1.8 alpha has the exact same problem. Also referred to here http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=25115

Same problem in Mac OS X 10.4.8 with version 1.1.8alpha.

This bug seems to affect all major Operating Systems, so the OS should be changed to "*"?

Still present in 1.1.9 alpha. Only one column is saved (most of the time it is the key column), rarely another, never two or all.

Experiencing the same behavior on version 1.1.10 on 2.6.20-gentoo-r6.

Steps:

Create table
Edit properties
Add primary key
Add second column varchar(40) - no index
hit "Apply" button, the following error apears in the console window 8 times:
"** (mysql-workbench-bin:29797): CRITICAL **: myx_grt_dict_item_set_by_path: assertion `dict != NULL' failed"

Second column is not saved.

I'm experiencing this problem on 1.1.10 alpha - basically making this tool unusable to me.  As the bug was reported in November of 2006 I'm wondering if this tool is dead in terms of development...

[23 Oct 2007 8:45] Frosty Z

Same here with 1.1.10 alpha / win32

I think that this issue is very "critical"... You simply cannot use the tool :-/

As another guy wondered, is there any "activity" on this project ?

Thanks...
