reappearing deleted messages in sequence diagrams

[rabra]

Hallo,

there is again a funny phenomenon in ea (6.5):

In a sequence diagram are lifelines and between them messages.
I have got a pool of lifelines that I re - use in different contexts.

When I delete a message from my model and then pull an already existent lifeline onto the diagram, the just deleted message reappears.

Does that make any sense or is it a bug?

I know this is an obvious question, but are you sure you have deleted the message from the model, and not just the diagram?

In the latter case EA is performing as expected - it is adding those elements from the model that are associated with the lifeline.

Check the Project View tree - making sure the maximum depth is sufficient - to see if the message element is really being deleted from the project. You might also want to check after the 'phantom' element reappears to see if the project tree has changed. If it has, this means the element is actually being recreated. In that case I suggest you file a bug report with Sparx. You can do this from the EA main menu via Help | On-line Resources | Bug Report Page.

I am not sure if we have  understood correctly:

First: How do I delete the message from the model and not only from the diagram? In the menu I only find the button 'Delete connector'.
Second: I did not mean that I re - use the lifline from which I deleted the message. I delete a message from a lifeline that stays in the diagram. Then I drag another lifeline that has nothing to do with the first one to the diagram. And on the first lifeline the message reappears, no matter if it is a call or a self - message.
Third: I have never seen a message element in the Project view tree. I am speaking about the associations between lifelines.
