Linked Document -- broken links

[lubos]

When I use a linked document (EA v.7.1.832) and drag&drop some element on it to create a link to this element from this document than after saving and reopening the document the link is broken -- it doesn't jump to the element in the tree.
The same efect I see when I copy the content of the document to the MS Word and that copy it back -- the links are broken even when I have not modified them (... I do it to chage the label of the link, since EA doesn't enable it.)

I'm not sure but I think in some previous version of EA this worked ?!
Has anybody the same problems?
Thanks for any feedback

Can you confirm that the links are active before you save and reopen?

[Sorry for asking such an obvious question, but you don't explicitly say so, and it never hurts to be sure.]

Yes, links are live before I close the document. Tthey are broken when I reopen it.

Strange...

I don't think I've tried this at all, so have not noticed it. To me it seems like a defect. Either the links should be maintained, or should not work (or perhaps even be offered) in the first place.

I suggest you submit a bug report directly to Sparx. With any luck it is will turn out to be a minor oversight and can be resolved quickly. Perhaps it might even get in under the wire for the next build. [That's just a nice-to-have though; I have no idea when the build might come out.]

Well, that's progress of a kind. Given that they did not speculate on when the resolution would appear I suspect (without proof) that it will not be in build 833. Perhaps after that long-awaited build comes out they will be able to return to the once a month release schedule for future builds.
