Resizing objects in editor

[mlisiewicz]

Hello again,
resizing objects feature doesn't work properly (example attached).
Eclipse 3.6.2 + AD 0.8

mlisiewicz,

thanks for reporting this. We were aware of this, but hadn't put it on "the list" yet. Could you create a JIRA issue for us? Thank you.

Note that we don't currently support 3.6.2, but judging from the screenshot this bug isn't specific to the Eclipse version.

Here it is:

Excellent, thanks.

Hi,
when this bug will be fixed? And why in jira it has minor priority? In my humble opinion, this bug makes it very difficult to develop applications with Activity Diagram Editor

Hi,

Why do you find this vital?
The sub-process construct (where I can think of the resize use) is resizable.
So why would you want a task or a start event to be re-sizable?

Best regards,

uhhmmm since the label fits in better then… (no ellipsis)? Yet, it is not vital (imo), but minor is also to low (again imo), I'd say it is 'trivial' 🙂

Yeah, okay I can think of that. But doing multiline tasks would also help a bit there.
And makes that the Designer very difficult to develop with?

Best regards,

[ronald_van_kuij]

Multiline tasks also is indeed what I usually initially do, but not evverybody knows that can be done and expect an auto wrap or something.

And it indeed does not make thedesigner unusable, that is why, I, like you, don't think it is vital (but do not underestimate the influence people in 'suits' can have on decision making and how they perceive things)

Hi everybody!
I was talking about user task construct, not sub-process. Sorry for the inaccuracy.
Maybe I do not know some designer features… Is there a way to change the size of user task construct, which is already located in the worksheet?

Thanks!
