Text diagram objects behaving badly

[Uffe]

Hi all,


Wondering if anyone else has seen this.

After upgrading to EA10 (1006), text diagram objects have started getting seriously confused.
What happens is this: (just about) all "Text" objects in the entire project have their name fields set to the name of some completely unrelated element somewhere in the project, breaking Hyperlinks and causing general havoc.

Opening the Properties dialog on one of these objects reveals that that, too, is confused and contains an additional, unlabeled drop-down box in the middle of the Address field. The Type field has been blanked.

When I fix these objects, it doesn't take long (a day or so) until they break again. I've even deleted and recreated some of them, to no avail. Only Diagram Hyperlinks seem to be immune.

What the hell is going on? This is a production project with 140 users. For that to suddenly break is not an option.

Hi Uffe,

This is a known issue that should be fixed in the next build of EA 10 (1007).

When the "Edit Object on New" option is enabled - If you create a composite element type such as a BPMN 2.0 Business Process and then rename the element when the properties dialog opens upon creation, it can damage text and hyperlinks within the model.

To avoid the issue in the current build, open Tools | Options > Objects and disable "Edit Object on New".

OK, thanks for that.

Any ETA on that fix? People are kinda champing at the bit over here...
