    Thanks, Lachlan.

    It was connecting to the wrong database, that is the correct database
    for the wrong model that was displayed in the relationship inspector.

    But pardon my ignorance of a new (to me) tool. My "doh!" moment was
    when I discovered that the "remove" button was the same as
    EOModeler's "disconnect" button, and once I did that I could edit the
    related model.

    I still don't know why it got changed, but that particular problem is
    now fixed...
