BUG: Deletion left overs from sequence diagrams
« on: February 07, 2007, 09:49:51 am »
I create an automatic sequence diagram (using the debugger, etc). There are a few loops in the code that appear on the diagram. After I delete the diagram the loops are still there, although other diagram specific elements are deleted automatically (e.g. start and end elements).
I would assume it makes sense to delete these elements automatically too since they are diagram specific.

Thanks,
Tilemachos

EA allows them to appear on multiple diagrams (which is why they are in the tree)  As a result it can't delete them just because one diagram is gone.

Well, I am not sure it makes sense. The loop elements are specific to the thread run (or a scenario if you want) that the sequence diagram covers.

To my opinion, it is rather meaningless to reuse the loop element on different diagrams. If this is the rational behind it then we should be reusing the start element too, which makes more sense since it is more abstract (loop elements are usually related to a number of iterations).

My point is that loop elements are specific to one sequence diagram and I do not see the benefit of keeping it since I cannot reuse them. Maybe it is just me.
