We frequently set a diagram to NOT show Features (Attributes and Operations) via the appropriate checkbox on the Diagram Properties dialog.  Works fine.  Features appear/disappear according to the checkbox setting.

So when we needed to do it selectively on a per-item basis on a diagram, we thought we'd use the equivalent checkbox at the item level in the Compartment Visibility dialog.  Firstly, we noted that although the checkbox was unmarked [  ] Attributes, the attributes WERE visible on the diagram!  Next, we found that marking and unmarking the checkbox had NO effect on the attribute visibility.  The ONLY mechanism that worked was the Attribute and Operation Visibility checkboxes on the left.

The visibility checkboxes are surely subservient to the Compartment Visibility checkboxes (as, for example, are the Notes related checkboxes).

So, instead of 2 clicks, it took 8 clicks (and will take a further 8 clicks to restore) to get rid of the attributes.  It also just WRONG!

Please rectify!
