Description:
When creating a new model from an existing database and asking MySQL Workbench to also place the objects on an EER diagram, objects are stacked over each other with only small margins. Objects should be arranged to be fully visible.

The same behavior can be found, when using "Create Diagram from Catalog Objects" is used.

How to repeat:
A) Create a new model from an existing database and let MySQL Workbench also create a EER diagram of it.

B) Create a EER diagram based on an existing object catalog using MOdel --> Create Diagram from Catalog Objects

Suggested fix:
Invoke Autolayout function (as per menu function Aarange --> Autolayout), if a model is automatically populated.

Thank you for the problem report.

this is an effect of using the auto-layout function on tables without FK connections defined.
