Exploding Ports
« on: May 30, 2009, 01:00:58 am »
Best explained by describing the scenario:

In this particular case, I set the property type of a SysML flow port to that of a class with the stereotype DataElement. All seemed to work nicely, except that EA changed the port stereotype from flowPort to DataElement. Upon trying to reposition the port, however, the port rectangle "blew up" to what looked like the default size of a class element and thereafter refused to be resized. I then changed the stereotype back to flowPort, and voila! the port went back to its normal size and behavior.

I haven't tried this with other stereotyped classes or old-fashioned UML ports, but I suspect there may be a basic glitch in applying graphical properties based on an associated stereotype.

PS: Bug report will be filed as well.
