Description:
When importing a SQL script the tables are created but do not display in the ER Diagram.  In order to make this work you have to drag the table from the catalog onto the canvas.

How to repeat:
1. Create a SQL create script
2. Import -> Reverse Engineer MySQL Create Script
3. Tables are created under the catalog but not in the canvas

Suggested fix:
When importing from a SQL script the canvas should automatically pick up the tables and display them.

I think current behaviour is intended, not a bug. If you have 100 tables in the database why we should always display all of them?

Anyway, some option to display all tables automatically will be useful.

I see your point on the 100 tables, although it was rather confusing to see when i've used dbdesigner previously.  An option would likely be good to have to either display them or not.
