Description:
It is not possible to set a table with a dot in its name as a referenced table in a foreign key.

How to repeat:
- Create 2 tables, at least one with a dot in the name (e.g. table.1 and table.2).
- Create a foreign key in table.1.
- Select table.2 from the popup list as the referenced table.
- As soon as the combobox closes the name is removed again, making it impossible to use it actually.

Suggested fix:
Improve parsing of table names.
