Element Usage window closes when open button click

[skiwi]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature, or EAUI, but it is driving me up the wall (or should that be out the window).

I'm using the element usage window (ctrl-U) to locate all diagrams a component is in.
There are a lot of them and I wish to view many of them.

When I select one and click "Open" on the element usage window the diagram opens OK, but the Element Usage Windows closes.
How do I stop this?
What should be a trivial  task becomes a mission.

Sounds like how it's intended to work at the moment.  If you would like this to be enhanced in some way, please submit a Feature Request with details of how you would like this function to behave.

Double-clicking on a line opens the diagram without dismissing the dialog.

KP - thanks, nice.

OK, some off the cuff suggestions (its Friday afternoon here) for the community to comment on.

Add a 'Goto' button that opens the element, and closes the dialogue.
Change the 'Open' button so it opens the element and does not close the dialogue.

Make to columns sortable by clicking on the title.

Add a context menu for each element with

• open
• find in current diagram
• find in project browser
• Apply/Release lock

and  maybe more.
Remove the modality of the dialogue so it can remain open while editing is done on the elements.
