Cannot align in Sequence Diagram (Send to back or Bring to Front)

[Linh Dang]

Hi, 

I cannot align interaction fragment in StartUML in 2.0.1, neither "Send To Back" or "Bring to Front" work

Regards

Hi Linh,

You mean "Combined Fragment"? It is always on the top of Lifelines and Messages but it is transparent so we don't understand why "Send to Back" or "Bring to Front" is required?.

Could you explain why is it needed in more detail? (Please attach image if possible).

Thanks,

Hi,

Thank for your response.

Please find the screenshot in the attachment. The "Price Asset" ref should be able to place on top of message timeline

Thank you for uploading your image. There was a problem on z-Index (Layer priority) of InteractionFragments. It will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks,

There is still a problem with the z-order.  "Send to Back" and "Bring to Front" does nothing on a Combined Fragment.

Also, the guard text of the Operand remains at the back but should be at the front even if the Combined Fragment lies at the back (i.e. it should have a separate z-order)

Tried Version 2.6.0 and 2.5.1

Screenshot is attached.

Regards.

Hi,

Currently, messages are always appears at the front of other elements in sequence diagram. Internally, messages have z-order=1 and others have z-order=0. "Send to Back", "Bring to Front" only works between elements having same z-order value. Setting z-order of combined fragment to 2 will not solve the problem, because messages behind the combined fragment will not selectable by mouse clicking. Sorry, we need a lot of time to fix this problem.

Thanks,

Has this issue ever been fixed?

I have the same problem using v2.8.1 on Windows 10 whereby Combined Fragments always appear underneath the timeline objects.  I've embedded and image so the results can be seen.

[Damo Armo]

Further to this, I have noticed that the issue is more likely with the action/behavior execution of the timeline object rather than the Combined Fragment itself.  The action/behavior execution seems to take precedence over all other elements on the sequence diagram.  It's very frustrating and means the tool is unusable at the moment.

Hello Damo,

Thank you for your feedback. The problem is caused by mismatch drawing precedence with selection precedences. If the messages are behind the Combined Fragment, then the messages cannot be selected by mouse. It's a quite complicated problem in implementation perspective. Anyway, we will try to find clean way to fix the problem as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Thank you for your prompt response.

It seems you can manipulate the Combined Fragment along the Z-order so that it is in-from my of the messages or behind and access to the Combined Fragment vs. the messages is fine. The issue seems to be with the action/behaviour execution lines that sit on top of the timeline objects. These always take precedence over the Combined Fragment operandi which make the sequence diagrams unreadable.

Do you have any rough-order timescale for when you think this could be resolved? The issue seems to be years old and I have only weeks to evaluate this tool against others for use here at William Hill, and currently this issue renders the tool unusable in the organisation.

It's so hard to explain why it's not a simple problem in implementation aspect. (Message and Activation are always move together, cannot be separated in our architecture at this time), So unfortunately we can't guarantee when it can re resolved at this time.

Is it not possible to make the rectangle transparent? It would be a simple solution.

Also a deal breaker for me. I need to be able to show the text of combined fragments on diagrams. Any feedback a year later on whether this will ever get fixed? Thanks Niels

[StarUML]

This issue is resolved in v3.1.0 release.

Have the same problem with "frame" element in activity diagram, can't move it in front. My system is windows 10. Staruml version is 3.2.2 . Also i can't find any description about frame element at starumldocs activity diagram section.
