           Summary: Activity Diagram Associations snap precedence to
                    boxes/partitions/swimlanes before any other objects in
                    box region and unable to select other actions
           Product: umbrello
           Version: 1.4.2
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

Version:           1.4.2 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          GCC 3.4.3 Gnu ld 
OS:                Linux

Since Umbrello 1.4.2, activity diagram associations have snap precedence to boxes/partitions/swimlanes before any other objects in box region and unable to select other actions.

The result is any box must be removed from the region where actions are present before it is possible to make an associate from any item outside the box. If the box is not moved clear of the actions concerned the association will snap to the box. Hence, any item the pointer is over for an action within a box region will not set the association endpoint to that action.

This is a recent change in behaviour and degrades the usability of Umbrello activity diagrams with swimlanes/partitions substantially.
