v15.2 - Supplemental Stereotypes – Tags not visible until item deselected

[Paolo F Cantoni]

This is a bit of a weird one - and it might only be our setup.

Firstly, let me explain what I mean by Supplemental Stereotypes.  We have determined that we will have a primary stereotype that determines the metatype.  For example, the «Orgnztn» stereotype that is the "organisation" metatype.  We also have supplemental stereotypes which provide properties that are not applicable to ALL instances of the metatype (since creating optional properties - which only apply to subtypes of the metatype is problematic).  In this case, some organisations are legal entities which beloved to our Group.  For those, we want additional properties that apply only to those.  We created a supplemental stereotype «GrpBsnssEntty»  (Group Business Entity).  We provide this supplemental stereotype in the toolbox and the user can [Ctrl+Drag] (apply) onto the «Orgnztn» item.

It all looks fine until the user tries to "fill in the blanks" for the «GrpBsnssEntty» they have just created.  The original «Orgnztn» tags are present in the DB and visible in the Properties Window.  You need to deselect the item and then reselect the item for the supplemental stereotype to "take hold" and the properties become visible in the Properties Window and the user can then modify them.  I've noticed that both stereotypes aren't visible in the Properties Window until we go through the "dance" mentioned.

Is this just another example of the "Synchronisation Shemozzle" we have noticed in recent versions?  Anyone else seeing this?

I recently reported the same thing for attributes, except that is also happened with a single stereotype.
The tagged values are only visible immediately if the attributes owner is on the current diagram.
If not you have to select, deselect, and select again in order to see them.

I suspect a caching problem.
