Thanks for the response.

I think the first issue is a sort-of user error. If you change any property in the Properties view, the diagram only shows a "modfied" star (*) when you subsequently put the focus to the diagram again. In addition, hitting Ctrl-S in the properties view does not work. If I click the diagram and hit Ctrl-S the change does get persisted.

I don't know if that is Eclipse or Activiti designer behavior. I'm happy to file a bug if it's Activiti behavior.

W.r.t. the second issue, we'll file an issue.

Regards, Mark.

Can anyone please help doing the same with Modeler. I don't see any documentation related to palette customization for web-modeler.
