Description:
Using the Description Editor to update a table's description does not update the Comments column of the Model Overview window.

How to repeat:
Open a new workbench file
Create a schema
Create a table with no comments
Close the table window
--
Use the Description Editor (upper left) to enter a description.
Click back into the Model Overview (right side) to move focus away from the Description Editor
--
Observe that the Comments column does not update.

The same issue happens when double clicking on a table and editing the "comments" field.  The comments column does not update when the table window is closed.

Workarounds:
* Changing to a different database and then back to the original database will force an update.
* Closing the Model and reopening will populate the comments column.

ALSO:
There is a verbiage difference.  The table editor calls it "Comments" and the Descriptions Editor calls it a "Description".  (Yes, it's a very minor thing and could probably be left unchanged).

Suggested fix:
When the Descriptions editor loses focus and is flagged as being changed, the comments column in the Model Overview should be updated.

another workaround is to change the view-style to one of the grid-layouts and change back to column view

Noted in 5.2.34 changelog.
