Hello,

During work with one of my developed business process diagram I encountered a problem with connectors between two UML elements. If you connect two elements ones, you can't change this connection - you can't drag the existing connector to another element.

In the earlier version (build 1420) i haven't observed such problem, so it looks like a serious bug to me.
I wonder, if anyone has observed such odd behaviour?

I am certainly able to create a connector between two elements on a diagram and drag the connector to another element. I suspect we are using different kinds of diagram, element and/or connector. Could you be more specific please?

I suppose that my problem is quite trivial, but I can't find the solution :(

I try to drag an existing connector on a BPMN 2.0 diagram between two activities and it doesn't work. However I can create new control flow connectors.
I'm sure that it is not a problem with EA version, because I restored to EA 13.5 and the connector still haven't work properly (before the actualisation to EA 14 I didn't observe such problem). What is more, on the other program instance, on another computer (EA build 1420) I work with the same project and my problem haven't  occur...
Have you got any idea?

Maybe on the problem system you have strict UML Syntax enabled, whilst it isn't enabled on the other installation?

Yes, I have the Strict Connector Syntax option selected in my link's preferences.

Today morning I compared preferences on my EA (build 1421) and on the other one (build 1420) and we have the same settings - in both case the  Strict Connector Syntax option is checked.
So I am a bit confused, but I am happy that it eventually works!

Thanks a lot.
