Why is it that when adding a table to a model it doesn't move to the "Model View" tab?

Good afternoon Does anyone know why when adding a table to a model it doesn't move to the "View Model" tab? If anyone has this problem?

I encountered this problem in Power BI Desktop.

Hello @Sergey_Bakaev ,

 

It sometimes goes to the end of the tab where you need to scroll right to see it, try clicking on the table name from the right side where the table names are and it will automatically direct it to you.

I have the same probem when adding new tavles to the model, they get added to the top LEFT corner and I can't move / reposition it. When I add two tables they overlap each other. ~thoughts?

As the person below suggested, you need to drag&drop into model view place from the sidebar (on the right) the table you want to transfer and it should start moving. Try a few times. I managed to do it.

Ahhh, got it!  I was confused because I have never done that step before, much appreciated!
