Description:
Hello, I'm using the community edition of the Workbench 5.2.29 on Windows XP sp3. Nice tool, thanks!

I have used it to reverse engineer a data base with a couple dozen tables and make an EER diagram. The EER diagram has the problem that the background color attribute of each table is #000000 black, and so is the text of the table name. So the table names are invisible, unless I change the table color attributes one by one.

So, there's a workarouund, but it's not at all convenient.

See the forum here.  Several users have reported this on several different platforms.

How to repeat:
Reverse engineer any database.  The problem shows up with the built-in mysql database.

By the way, this problem doesn't come up when adding tables to a diagram one-by-one using the user interface.

Thank you for the bug report.

There's no workaround on Mac OS X 10.6 because we can't edit the color in the Properties tab.
