The GUI for creating table does not update collation information.
If you generate a table with different collations, the generation code is for example:
CREATE TABLE `firu` (
`Word` VARCHAR(70) NULL DEFAULT '' COLLATE 'utf8_swedish_ci',
`RU` VARCHAR(2000) NULL DEFAULT ''
)
COMMENT='example'
COLLATE='utf8_general_ci'
ENGINE=InnoDB;
So,
If you try to update the collation for
second column, in this example - 'RU' to 'utf8_general_ci', the code does not update information for the table in "collation" bar.
