qualifier box is not attached to the class' shape - move it around as you like - with association hanging off it - very confusing forum posting: http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=122&threadID=63144 repro steps: - create a class diagram - create and name 2 class elements - create an association link between the 2 classes - right-click on the link at one end closer to the class element and select Show Qualifier - move the Qualifier around and away from the class so that the qualifier is not touching the class Evaluation: Per tspiva, this is how the tool is designed to work. Converting it to an RFE.
It's closely related to issue 88239 and issue 88240, a p2 bug.
The logic to reconnect qualifer to associated class was lost during TomSawyer library upgrade. Implemented the logic to work like this: If qualifier is manually moved within the class rectangle or touching the sides, the user's choice of position is accepted to allow user some flexibility to adjust the elements. If qualifier is completely moved away from class but doesn't touch another class ( an attempt to reroute association ) it will be pulled back to its original associated class and attached to one side of the class rectangle based on qualifier's "runaway" location. If the qualifier is completely moved away from original associated class to another class, the logic to re-route associate kicks in (This logic was there and is not changed).
verified in all-nbms-griffin-070128_1 now it works. But not always correctly. will file related issues
