Description:
You can create two tables with the same name. That can lead to problems with db sync. We have recently deleted the wrong one by mistake!

How to repeat:
On the diagram pane create two tables with the same name.

This works as intended. It must be possible to temporarily rename objects to names that already exist. In the Standard Edition of Workbench there's a validation step for that. Community users don't have validation, but it's easy to fix (and you get a proper error from the server).
