Description:
Trying to delete characters (with the Del key) from a column's name results in deleting the visual representation of the table on the canvas. After that the model is corrupted. The table is unreachable althought you can see it in the exported sql code.

How to repeat:
1. Run Workbench and start a new model.
2. Add a table and double click it to add columns
3. Change the name of the table to some other value, say "test"
4. Click in the 1st column field and as soos as the garret appears, press the home key to move the garret far left
5. Press the Delete key to delete a letter. This results in deleting the table from the canvas!

After that the model is corrupted. The table is there (you can export is!) but is unreachable!

I had the same behaviour by trying to delete a char from the table's name. It looks like the Delete key is faulty when editing names.
