Description:
In the modelling tool, if create a foreign key, manually specify the table that the key refers to, and that table does not actually exist, a segfault occurs.

How to repeat:
Create a new model.
Create a new diagram.
Add a new table to the diagram.
Go to the foreign keys tab.
Enter a name for a new foreign key.
In the dropdown box for "referenced table", choose "Specify manually..".
Enter the name of a table that does not exist, e.g. "awefaew.awefawef"
A segfault occurs.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.30 changelog:

When a foreign key was created manually, if the referenced table did not exist, then MySQL Workbench crashed.
