MySQL workbench does not display the tables

Question

I installed mysql workbench in Windows7 32 bit machine. I imported a dump tables from another machine, the import process completes successfully as mysql shows. But, I can not see the tables, even after refresh all. Not only the tables that I import, even the tables in the test database (that comes by default) or any previously created tables in another database. Simply, it just shows the database name without the plus sign that display the tables. I removed mysql, installed it again, but no hope. I installed the requirements for mysql. What can be the reasons for such problem ?

Answer 1

If you're on mac, your object info and session section is covering the tables view. Just go ahead and drag that down and you should see the tables

Answer 2

I had the same thing happen. I just closed the program, re-opened it, and all the tables I imported were viewable.
