Description:
The folders in the Catalog browser don't remember their expanded/collapsed state. Tables' folders of all schemas expand on switching tabs. This is extremely cumbersome if you have multiple schemas defined and have to work in any other than the first. It makes you have to scroll or collapse all the time. Although this in an improvement to version 6.0 where only the first schema expanded and all others' folders where collapsed but it is still not perfect.

How to repeat:
Define 2 schemas, the fist one (in alphabetical order) should contain enough tables to fill the visible section  of the Catalog browser in the diagram view. Collapse the first schema's node to bring the second schema into the visible area. Switch to the tab "MySQL Model" and back to the diagram tab and find the first schema expanded again.

Suggested fix:
The catalog browser should remember view states on a per diagram basis.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.2.4 release, and here's the changelog entry:

The EER diagram catalog browser now remembers view states on a per
diagram basis.

Thank you for the bug report.
