Description Saulo Toledo 2009-10-05 20:21:32 UTC
Version:           2.3.1 (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

It's really bad drag multiple items into Umbrella, I have no control of the items selected. Drag and drop multiple items it's needed to diagrams, I need rearrange the items on window to get space to refactoring and other things.

Same here:

Umbrello UML Modeller
Version 2.3.1
Using KDE 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6"
platform: x86_64, OpenSUSE 11.2

Confirmed for Umbrello v2.4.3 on Kubuntu Lucid with KDE 4.4.3.

I cannot group-drag at all. When I select a group and click on an object to move the group, the selection gets lost and only the clicked object moves. But with that, other selected texts are moved, the text layout hence destroyed (see bug #144402 on that).

I also cannot move the whole selection with Alt+Arrowkeys on any other diagram than the first one, since that switches between the diagrams, regardless of what Modifier Key the arrow keys are combined with. So it is impossible to move a group if objects in any other than the first diagram AT ALL. Plus, if you have more than one diagram, moving with keys does only work to the left, since the right-key switches diagrams again.

I'm sorry to say this aloud, but Umbrello is quite useless without the ability to move a group of objects. Sadly this is but one of the many regressions in the KDE4 variant compared to the KDE3 one, to whose quirks I have somehow gotten used.

But heads up, good work so far, awsome [idea of a] tool anyway. Please keep up the work and help us with many fixes soon!

This has been fixed in 4.11

Switching diagrams looks like a Qt3Canvas key binding, which isn't supported since umbrello 4.11 because of the switch to Qt4 graphics scene. Looks like a nice feature for additional releases.

Fixed in 4.11, simply select widgets, press STRG-X, switch diagram and press STRG-V,
