Where is the FloatingText saved in case the diagram is created with the 
current CVS version?
Are fresh created MessageWidgets saving their FloatingText instance already in 
the m_WidgetList of UMLView?

If this is true, than I wonder, why a Save OP with the new CVS version doesn't 
create the needed entries. The last changes in the XMI format were always 
designed in way, that the max drawback are some manual relayouts or 
comparable - but a save&reload cycle provided a clean New-XMI formated 
project file.

Where is the FloatingText of a new created MessageWidget added to 
m_WidgetList?
I didn't find the source code, which does this.

Do I interprete your modifications to my patch correct, if I assume, that the 
management of the MessageWidget's FloatingText was not yet implemented in 
UMLView?

Bye,
