[Uml-devel] Bugs, bugs, bugs

[Piotr Kolaczkowski]

Hello,

I got Umbrello with KDE 3.3.0 release and there are lots of bugs in it.
It crashed twice when I pressed Ctrl-Z after inserting new node on a line in a 
class diagram. It crashed even more, but I actually didn't remember which 
operation it was. It seems to me it is a very unstable release. 

Instead of adding new features please do test it a little more or use better 
memory allocation schemes (I suggest using a garbage collector - memory 
problems are somehow too common for Umbrello). Thanks for the "autosave" 
feature. It really helps. 

Some other bugs found in just few minutes:
1. Moving more than one item at a time spoils layout of a diagram.
2. Exporting to png draws a black rectangle on the left side of image (it was 
ok in previous releases).
3. Using a "snap to grid" option still causes association descriptions to 
behave strangely when moving objects.

And one wish:
- It would be good if one could fill attributes and operations of classes in a 
more pleasant way like e.g. in Rational Rose - by typing declarations with 
all parameters. Clicking a button to enter/modify each argument of a method 
or pressing a mouse button to fill an attribute type requires much more time 
than writing a complete declaration in C/C++/PASCAL or any pseudo-programming 
language.

This time I can't help due to my permanent lack of time. :((((

Best regards
