EA 9.0.907 fails on editing attributes
« on: July 01, 2011, 04:02:16 pm »
I opened the attribute (Properties>>General) dialog on a class with many attributes and tried to browse through the list. The expected behavior is that the details of the highlighted attribute in the list at the bottom part of the dialog become accessible in the top part of the dialog.

Further expected behavior is that when a different attribute becomes highlighted its details become accessible.

This does not work, however. Independently whether the change of the highlighted attribute is done by mouse or arrow keys the details of some of the attributes that can successfully be highlighted do not become visible in the details part of the dialog.

For some attributes the change works and for some the change reproducibly does not work. Suppose on attribute was highlighted on the list and its details were properly displayed in the details part. Now, highlight a different attribute and the highlighting works but the details part still shows the details of the previously highlighted attribute.

As a result, some attributes (those that do not properly update the details part) can't be edited any longer!

I just tested that on my machine, but I can't seem to recreate the issue.
Is there something particular about the attributes you can't edit?

Geert,

you're right, it must be something about the actual model rather than the tool in general. I found at least one model where everything works as advertised.

Other models that exemplify the effect are related to each others such that they stem from the same ancestor.
