Insert related elements refresh

[BobM]

Hi,

I had a mail from Sparx indicating they are having problems reproducing the bug where you click an element and insert related elements it shows all related elements but when you click refresh some elements vanishes (eg. flows to relations on a BPMN activity, application function realizes an application component, etc...)

I use procloud 5.123 but can easily reproduce this on a local project

As Sparx indicates they are having issues to reproduce this, is there a setting somewhere that causes this behavior?

Hi Bob,

We ran into this SAME problem yesterday on our repository - whilst trying to demonstrate what a neat feature it is!  No Pro cloud just EAUI.  SQL Server, b1624.

It's not just you...

I found that in many cases you have to spoonfeed Sparx support if you want your bugs to be fixed.

Provide them with a model, and an exact scenario on how to reproduce the issue.

It's a lot of work, and I often feel like it shouldn't be my work, but I need those bugs fixed as well... so I do it anyway.

The workaround I do is uncheck one of the filter groups (uncheck all connector types or uncheck all element types) then hit refresh

The workaround isn't optimal so this should be fixed, I'm happy to read other people have stumbled upon this easy to reproduce issue.

So its inconsistently correct? 

Did you change anything in comparison to when you gave the demonstration?

We're making changes all the time, trying to get to the bottom of other issues that are currently impacting us.
However, it did occur on at least two machines at more or less the same time.
