Description:
I'm trying to create a new table in the workbench.  I use the table tool to plop a table into the drawing area then double click to add fields.  The tabbed table editor pops up on the bottom of the screen.  Using the Columns tab I can add the primary key just fine.  Then I try to click on an empty field on the Columns tab just under my PK.  It lets me enter name, type, etc. then I hid Apply.  This time no apparent update happens--the field doesn't appear in the list of fields in the icon in the drawing area and when I reopen the table editor the field isn't there.

Strange:  I do believe the field is remembered somewhere because if I uses the n:m relation tool to associate my new table with another the join table has a strange FK relationship to the field I tried to create, even though it still doesn't appear in the new table.

How to repeat:
Create a new table
Double click on the new table to pop up the table editor
Go to the Columns tab
Add the PK (enter name, data type, etc.)
Try to add another non-PK field just under the PK
Hit Apply

See that the PK is reflected in the table icon but not the other field

Thank you for a bug report. Verified just as described on Windows XP SP2.

I'm also experiencing this issue version 1.1.9 alpha on both Windows XP and Mac 10.4.
