Description:
Placing a new table on the diagram does not cause the Table tab of the Table Editor tab to be defaulted to. The panel I'm talking about is the panel below the EER diagram (what is the name of this panel? I don't seem to be able to discover it - it isn't the Table Editor because that is just a tab on that panel, GRT Shell and Output also appear on this panel).

How to repeat:
Edit an existing EER Diagram table.
Select the Foreign Keys tab or the Table Editor.
Place a new table on the EER Diagram.
Edit the new table.
The Foreign Keys tab is still selected for the new table.

Suggested fix:
The Table tab of the Table Editor should be defaulted for a new table since you will want to name the new table and the other characteristics first. Or at the very least the Columns tab.

This is expected behaviour because the displayed editor only changes when an object is doubleclicked (or on right-click -> edit). so simply selecting (or creating) objects on canvas doesn't change the editors content.

Actually we consider changing this because we've already got some proposals that the editor-window should rather behave this way. So i'm setting this to "Feature Request".

Closing old bug. The layout of the table editor was changed so that the info that was in the Table tab is always visible.
