Description

Still have the issue with palette selection tools not staying selected in Archi 5.4.0/5.4.1 when selecting relations.
Switched back to Archi 5.3 without this issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Select relation palette tool e.g. Magic Connector.
2. Select object 1 for connection -> ok
3. When mouse pointer is moved over another object, it only can be selected as object 2 for connection BEFORE object information is displayed. As soon as the object information is displayed, the selection of the relation palette tool is lost.

Can you explain in more detail what this means:

When mouse pointer is moved over another object, it only can be selected as object 2 for connection BEFORE object information is displayed. As soon as the object information is displayed, the selection of the relation palette tool is lost.

Or perhaps a screen capture to show this?

It's because the tooltip is grabbing the focus. This is a regression from here - eclipse/gef-classic@843e56c

I'll fix it. In the meantime either disable tooltips in preferences or create the connection before the tooltip shows.

I have a fix for the next version. I'll wait until next week to release the fix in case something else shows up.

Unfortunately I wasn't fast enough to record a screen video. But in the meantime the problem could be understood without it. :-)

Disabling the tooltip is a much more pleasant option than frantically selecting the target object before the tooltip appears... .

I also confirm the behavior that the tooltips are not displayed in the correct position, but for me this is only a small blemish and does not particularly disrupt work.

Thanks for the quick response!!

Fixed in Archi 5.4.2.
