Category:	MySQL Workbench: Modeling	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	5.2.31 CE	OS:	Windows (windows 7 ultimate running on AMD CPU)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	Model Diagram

Description:
After creating/opening a model the diagram panel does not show any of the objects and it is fill all with a gray color. If you focus on another window and then come back to the model diagram then the diagram panel does not paint itself and it's area displays the previous window. In general it seems that the diagram panel does not paint itself. 
Meanwhile in the Bird's Eye panel you can see the several objects belonging to the diagram.
Installing the MySQLWorkbench (from the same installation file) on another PC running same version of windows but with an Intel CPU the model diagram panel paints the diagram with no problem.

How to repeat:
Install the MySQLWorkbench 5.2.31 CE on a windows 7 ultimate with an AMD CPU and try to open a model

Please, send the output of Help > System Info menu item.

After comparing the output of the Help > System Info menu on the two PC's (the intel pc and the amd pc) I realized that the pc with the AMD cpu had an older OpenGL driver. I performed an update of my nvidia graphics card driver (which is using a newer OpenGL driver) and the problem was solved!

I'm sorry but I didn't think to keep the output of the Help > System Info menu prior to perform the update on the graphics card adapter driver.
The new output is

OK, so this problem was a result of outdated OpenGL driver, not a bug in Workbench code.

It would be nice though to check if the OpenGL driver is outdated and present an appropriate message. In such way users would avoid spending a lot of time trying to figure out what is wrong.
