Description:
If you try to reverse engineer the E/R diagram from an existing database, the process seems to work up until you want to see the model where you'll find some of your tables missing. The model lacks many of the tables, it looks like it stops adding them to the model after a certain threshold, since it always shows 18 tables.

I've tried with some databases made for mysql 4 with 40, 76 and 34 tables in all three cases the model only showed 18 tables after import.

How to repeat:
Any reverse engineer with any database with over 18 tables has worked in my case.

Thank you for the bug report. Could you please provide the model file which
makes possible to repeat the behavior reported?. Thanks in advance.

The problem I've found appears when you try to reverse engineer an existing database directly not importing it from a file. Anyway I'll add an script file for one of the databases I've had the problems.

Thank you for the feedback. I wasn't able to repeat with sample provided
(see attached picture showing the 40 tables).

I've just attached an image of the diagram resulting of reversing enginiering the database I've attached previously. As you see there're only just 18 tables, not the 40 tables the database has.

I've tried with version 5.0.0.13 and the problem still persists.

this seem to be a drawing/placement issue. all of the 40 tables are placed on the canvas, but only 18 of them are visible. one sign of that are the dots next to all of the tables in catalog view (which are indicators for table is used on diagram) and another sign is when you press <Ctrl>+<a> and right-click one of the tables, the popupmenu reads "40 objects".
I managed to make them visible by zooming out and playing around with table-selections.
we're working on that
