Bug #36191	Forward Engineer Schema - Run Validation info cannot be copied.

Status:	Not a Bug	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.0.19 SE rev 3067	OS:	Windows (Win2K)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
The Catalog Validation dialog has an option to Run Validation on the schema but there is no way (other than a Print Screen) to retain the generated data. Because the dialog is modal there is no way of keeping the data visible while you fix the issues.

How to repeat:
Perform a Forward Engineer (FE) of a database that contains issues that will be picked up by the validator - e.g a table with no columns.
Run the validator.
Attempt to copy the generated data.
Attempt to resolve the generated issues while the generated data is still visible.

Suggested fix:
Either a log file should be generated, or the dialog should not be modal, or the contents of the message log should be able to be copied.

you can invoke validation from WB main window (Model->Validation or Model->Validation (MySQL)) which should give you exact the same results as validation in Wizard (because its the same module that gets executed).
Running Validations from MainMenu opens validation-results in Output-Pane, which can be left open while going through the reported issues or where you can also right-click->copy every reported line.

If you are ok with this just leave this report as "not a bug" .... if you think, copy should be available in wizard-validation-report too, then please set it back to open and set severity to feature request.

thanks for your input

Thanks for the information Johannes.
