Attachments:	XMI file with actictivity diagram including an exception transition Activity diagram after create, save, close and load cycle Screen capture showing the described behaviour

Description Øystein S. Haaland 2014-09-11 06:45:45 UTC

When saving an activity diagram that contains an exception widget, its shape changes from that resembling a lightening bolt to something seemingly arbitrary.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new activity diagram
2. Add two normal activity widgets with an exception widget between
3. Save and close the file.

Actual Results:  
The shape of the exception widget changes

Expected Results:  
The shape of the exception widget should not change

3. Save, close and reopen the file....

XMI file with actictivity diagram including an exception transition

I tried reproducing the behavior with this file, by moving around the branch and the activity to different positions, each time saving and loading - but the exception looks okay to me.
Could you attach an XMI which exhibits the problem? Thanks.

I wonder if there might be a generic problem with my system since i see a lot of strange behavior that i would expect resulted in more bugs been filed (i looked through most of the open bugs). But i do see the same behavior on the two gentoo boxes i use on a daily basis.

I found a case where after the save/load cycle the start and end line of the exception association widget are not in parallel. Also I'm also able to reduce the exception to a simple line without any arror displayed if I reduce the distance of the two activities.

Looks like an implementation issue of the exception drawing.
