Description:
Reverse Engineer is meant to produce a model from the tables of an existing database. To only include some of the tables in the model, the Filter feature is used. 

This displays tables in two multiselect lists: tables to be included and not to be included. You can select a table and move it from one list to another. 

This causes the cursor to move to the top of the list. This can be quite annoying if you have a long list of tables from which you're trying to select only some, moving down the list.

How to repeat:
From the Workbench menu: Database > Reverse Engineer. Select or specify a server connection, click Next, select a database schema with more than one table, click Next. Click Next once more, click the Show Filter button. Try selecting one table in the list and clicking the ">" or "<" button.

Please, check if the same problem still happens with a newer version, 5.2.39.

Still happens

Verified on 32-bit Windows XP.

The cursor position now remains in the latest place.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.0.9 release, and here's the changelog entry:

From "Database", "Reverse Engineer", and after selecting a schema with
multiple tables, clicking the left or right arrow buttons with the "Show
Filter" feature to include/exclude tables would lose the cursor position,
and always move the cursor to the top of the list.

Thank you for the bug report.
