How to repeat:
Created three tables with no columns in them yet.   Tried to edit the second table, added an ID column.

Clicking into the next couple of tables did not change the edit window at the bottom to reflect the table currently selected, remained fixed on the table I had added the column to.

Played around in the Catalog Tree window, opening and closing the table +/- icons.    Right-clicked one and hit "Edit Table".

How can you release software where you can't even do basic stuff from a blank diagram?
