build 20080516 Composite state element can't be moved if grasp in the body of the element instead of the name (tab) area.
This is a change from 6.5 implementation. In previous releases, the region is not selectable, as the result, there is no visual feedback on selection, no separate context menus, to delete a region user needs to select 'regions -> delete this region' instead of 'edit -> delete', which could be confusing, exception occurs when invoking 'select in model'. To address those issues, I propose we make region ( a distinct model element ) selectable, so that it's highlighted when it's selected and it can have its own context-aware menu items. Making contained widget selectable implies changes to mouse action behavior. When mouse is pressed on region area, it makes region selected first, while region is selected, trying to press mouse and drag it will make container widget ( in this case, composite state widget ) move. Use can avoid this two-step action by dragging mouse on non-contained area, in this case, state widget name area. Suggestions are welcome.
Decision has been made to switch to 6.1 UI behavior, region element will not have its own context menu, it will not be selectable, region sub menu will be added to composite menu list. This issue will automatically go away after above changes.
Removing obsolete assignments. Bugs will be reassigned for M2.
