Sequence diagrams: Moving messages does not move fragments and comments

[flightman]

Hi all, I have found this topic "Sequence diagrams: notes move fragments" in the forum (from August, 2020), and it is mentioned there that the behaviour has been considered as bug (a fix for v16. Issue ID 18110905).
But now (I migrated from v15 to v16.1) I face the same issue, i.e. moving messages up/down (without ALT) doesn't move fragments and comments. So it breaks the diagrams

What build of 16.1 are you running exactly?
I don't have the issue in 16.1.1624, or I don't understand the issue exactly (but we don't use a lot of notes in sequence diagrams)

Earliest sequence diagram with notes I found was 7th Juli 2022 (around the time it got reported), the note is hooked onto the note as described, but I can move it fairly easy without the fragment moving.

Just made a test diagram and it appears to be working as intended?

I am using 16.1.1625.

When a diagram fragment (e.g., 'alt') does NOT contain any message, it works as you wrote. But when it contains at least one message (and I think usually a fragment contains one or more messages), it moves correctly when we move a message. So about fragments, in many cases it is no problem.

About the 'ref' fragment, if it has an incoming or outgoing message, it moves correctly when we move a message.

HTH,

Ok ok, thank you for explanation, but I am struggling with not-moving of note elements (comments). My diagrams contain a lot of comments and when I make some changes in sequences they do not respect them (do not move respectively) and the diagrams become messy.
