Description:
When clicking the column for a foreign key in the Foreign Keys tab of the table editor, the Referenced Column drop down list refreshes a number of times before the column is checked and the drop down can be used.

How to repeat:
Have two or more tables in your model.
Double click a table from the main Physical Schemata view.
Click the Foreign Keys tab.
Enter a name for a new foreign key.
Tab into the Referenced Table column and select a table to be referenced.
In the next "Column" column in the second section click a column name that is the foreign key.

Weirdness happens in the Referenced Column drop down list as it redraws a number of times before the clicked column shows itself as clicked and the Referenced Column drop down list finally stops refreshing and stays open ready to have a column name selected.

Suggested fix:
Unknown.

Could you please test with latest release. I couldn't repeat behavior reported.

Doesn't seem to happen in latest release, in fact I don't think I've seen it for a couple of releases.

So, the problem is not repeatable with latest releases.
