Description:
In the "Reverse Engineering Database" interface, there is a dropdown for "Stored connections". I create such a connection with the "+" button. Then, when I invoke the "Reverse Engineering Database" a second time, and I choose the stored connection, the credentials are not stored.

How to repeat:
- Database >> Reverse Engineer >> Stored connection dropdown: click on "+" 
- Fill-in a connection name (e.g. "MyConnection") 
- Fill-in the "Parameters" and "Advanced" tabs 
- Proceed with all reverse engineering wizard steps till completion (so far, so good)
- Now let's proceed again: Database >> Reverse Engineer >> Stored connection dropdown: select "MyConnection"

Result: the "Parameters" and "Advanced" tabs are filled with default options; no host, username, database, password are stored.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.

The '+' button stores currently set settings as named stored connection. So you need to set up connection settings first, then save them as stored connection. If you want to change settings of stored connection just save settings as stored connection with the same name. That will overwrite previous values.

Understood. Then it makes more sense to replace the "+", "-" and "C" button texts with explicit ones: "Save, "Delete", "Clear" (there's enough room)
