Description:
When using the reverse engineering wizard beginning from the 3rd screen (I have screenshots but I see no way to attach them) where it says "Tasks to Execute" and the window says "Perform Reverse Engineering.  Check Result. Get Available Migration Methods".  Clicking on the "Advanced Tab" on this page reveals the Message Log.  Then if you click "Next" the "Advanced Tab" still appears in the expanded mode "<< Advanced" and there is no message log.  No I don't know if there is supposed to be a message log or not on this page but once you click on "<< Advanced" to collapse the window on this page ">> Advanced" is still active and not clickable.  Not knowing the expected behavior I can't say what its supposed to be.

How to repeat:
1.  Load the MySQL Toolkit
2.  Click on Database -> Reverse Engineering
3.  Enter your connection information or select a pre-configured connection.
4.  Click Next
5.  Click Next
6.  By clicking on it Select a single database to reverese engineer.
7.  Click Next
8.  Click >>Advanced (btw, look at that window size on 1024x768 - its huge)
9.  Click Next

The bug appears - look at the size of the window, the bottom section of the window, and the <<Advanced button.

Suggested fix:
My recommendation would be (a) if the comments log is supposed to be there, it should show up, (b) if its not supposed to be there please grey out the Advanced Button and make it look like ">>Advanced" and shorten the window to match the size of other non-expanded dialog windows.

PS - I didn't see this bug in the bug db - did i just win an Ipod? :)
