Description:
I simply created a diagram in the diagram editor and there was a table that had too many columns and was taking up too much space on the page. So, I scaled down its box, hiding the extra columns, but next time I opened the MWB file, the boxes were all in their original sizes, with all column names visible. I expected the diagram to remain just as I left it. Apparently, the sizes of the boxes in the diagrams are not saved to disk.

How to repeat:
Create a diagram, add a table, resize it so as to hide a few columns, save the MWB file, close and reopen MySQL Workbence, load the MWB file you created and look at the diagram.

Suggested fix:
I don't know about the MWB format, or how the program reads and writes it, but just as the positions of the boxes on the page are stored, so should the sizes.

...

I resize the boxes to hide 4 or 5 column names, but when I reopen the file, only 1 or 2 names are hidden. So, something is saved, but it is saved or loaded wrong. Even when the box is made bigger than normal, when I reopen the file, 1 or 2 columns are hidden again.
