Description:
When creating an index for a table I cannot edit/enter the length for an index column, it always resets back to the initial value 0.

How to repeat:
- Create a new model.
- Add a diagram, and a table in the diagram.
- Add a column to that table. I've tried VARCHAR(45), CHAR(45) and TEXT.
- Then go to the Indexes tab, add an index(mine was called 'full', type INDEX)
- The Indexes box now contains
  table1col   1   ASC   0
- Now try to enter a nonzero value for Length. (I tried 8 and 32)
  The value always resets to 0 after I press enter, or click elsewhere.

Thank you for the bug report. Repeatable on Ubuntu (not on Windows).

This issue applies to the legacy MySQL Workbench 8.x implementation that is no longer supported or maintained.
MySQL Workbench 26.7 is a complete rewrite using a new technology stack and does not use the affected legacy implementation.
Therefore, this issue is not applicable to the current MySQL Workbench product and as such is closed.
