FYI:
With build 842 diagram elements are no longer included in reports even if the checkbox "Include all diagram elements in report" is checked and the templates have the appropriate sections.
This worked with build 834 but does not with build 842 any longer and can be easily reproduced by creating corresponding reports of the same data with the same templates with 7.1 and 7.5beta.
Reported to Sparx.
Addendum:
In case somebody feels offended that I am posting bugs I have reported, this serves several purposes.
I feel it is important to emphasize that 7.5beta is a beta version which has flaws. People using it should be aware where the problems are when applying it in productive scenarios. This helps also Sparx and prevents from unnecessary complaints.
And, of course, demonstrating that issues are resolved by Sparx as I will (hopefully) update this list .
This has nothing to do with whatever judgements about some low quality this might imply.
I am almost certain Sparx will resolve those issues quick and responsive and in fact I am getting used to it :P

Update: Rephrased as the titel and description were misleading
Update2: Could not be reproduced, see statement below. Who knows what happened when we had that issue first.

Hi Oliver,
Regarding your addendum only...
Please keep doing this Oliver. IMO, not only is this not an issue, but it definitely helps in several ways. Among them are the goals you cite.
As you are aware, the EA Forum community has long used a best practice - dating back to before my time - of creating a forum thread in parallel to a bug report. Other than some trivial cases - these are usually self-evident when they occur - doing so helps share information with the community.
This practice also sparks (no pun intended) discussion. We've often seen workaround proposed by Sparxians and uses alike, while we await more permanent solutions. Not only that, but discussion in these threads often helps improve a problem definition, and can refine an issue to the point where a solution becomes practicable.
So by all means please keep posting. You are making a positive difference!

OK, it seems as if this issue could not be reproduced neither on Sparx side nor on ours so it seems this issue is no longer valid.
Thanks to Dermot which I have pestered with several model zip files without a positive result and who patiently tried to care.
