Description:
In Linux WB, the Schema editor in the MySQL Model view shows a button next to the Name field with what appears to be a green lightning bolt. Pushing this button has no apparent effect and there is no label or tooltip. Is this thing supposed to do something? If so, what?

On a separate but clearly related note, the icon is greyed out until a second Schema is created.

How to repeat:
1) Create new EER Model
2) Double-click "mydb" to open Schema editor
3) Click + sign next to Physical Schemata to create a new Schema
4) Double-click "mydb" schema to open it in Schema editor

Note that the icon is greyed-out between steps 3 & 4. After step 4, the icon is a green lightning bolt but it has no label, no tooltip, and appears to do nothing at all.

Suggested fix:
Make this button perform some action and give it a tooltip or remove it entirely.

If it is kept, it should be available with there is only one schema (unless that violates its semantics, which are a mystery at present).

Fixed as of MySQL Workbench 6.0.5, and here's the changelog entry:

On Linux, the green lightening bolt icon in the schema editor did not
function. It was replaced by a "Refactor Schema" button.

Thank you for the bug report.
