Description

I found another issue with the nightly build. Go to "Database Structure" tab, click on a table. Notice that "Modify Table" and "Delete Table" buttons do not get activated. Click again on a different table. This time they do get activated.

I would expect the first click on a table should activate the buttons.

Note that this works in version 3.12.1

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the nightly build by opening the Database Structure tab and selecting a table, then compare the behavior with version 3.12.1. Trace the table-selection and button-activation path; done means the first table click enables both Modify Table and Delete Table.
