Really?  I just did this and for me it only hid it on the current diagram.

If it did hide it on all diagrams then I would call that a bug.

Well, whether it did or not is almost irrelevant now.  If it supposed (by virtue of the functional spec or the code itself) to only hide the line in the current diagram then it should explicitly say so.  If it is supposed to hide it in all diagrams it should say so.

You can't be wrong by being too explicit.  You can be wrong by being too vague.

Given EA's internal inconsistencies, we the users can't trust anything.  Sparxians can at least see both the external and internal specifications (you have those don't you? - correctly modelled in EA, of course) and the code itself and the results of your internal testing.

We DON'T!  All we can go on is what's in the Help (significantly tautological), the user interface and the observed behaviour.

So, given that I can't trust the wording of the context menu and I may not be able to reproduce exactly what I did it's really difficult.

I actually have a "day job" that involves the use of your tool.  I'm not funded by my employer to debug it.

Can you definitively state what the "Hide connector" is supposed to do in this release and that you have confirmed that it does just that (and no more).

Try looking at it from our point of view. ???

I'm old enough and grumpy enough to be a "turbulent priest". ;D
