Copy Element destroys nested sequence diagram!
« on: August 05, 2010, 09:38:45 pm »
If you copy/paste an element in the project browser, and that element has a sequence diagram, the sequence diagram of the original elment is destroyed!
All messages have disappeared!
This is a serious bug, and the only way to get the data back is to restore the backup.

Steps to reproduce
- Create an element (Element A, say a Collaboration) in a package (packageA)
- Add a sequence diagram with some messages to ElementA (nested)
- Select elementA and press Ctrl-C (copy)
- Select packageA and press Ctrl-V (paste)
- Notice that there is now a new element: "elementA - Copy" which also contains an emtpy sequence diagram
- Open the original sequence diagram of elementA
- Notice that there are no more messages on the original sequence diagram.

Tested on 8.0.860 with SQL Server 2008 database.

I've reported this to Sparx, I guess we can expect another hotfix soon  :-/

tested in 8.0.862, the bug is now fixed, but the new diagram is still not very useful. :-/
At least the original diagram is left alone
