Hi,
I sent a patch for this bug some days ago to the uml-devel list (as it's quite small).

So I ask the comitting developers of umbrello to merge my small patch.

The problem was triggered by the change in inheritance structure, where most code of the messagewidget class got so general, that the property "resizeable" had to be false for most cases. Only the case of widgets pointing to one class at both ends were modelled as resizeable - but not the synchronous sequence diagram messages.

So my change simply checks for the synchronous message property in the constructor and loading functions, and sets there the resizeable property to TRUE in those cases.

Bye,
Achim

Thanks Achim, I applied it :)

This doesn't seem to be fixed in Umbrello 1.5.2

It's fixed - but only with a workaround: Before clicking
on the lower right corner, click on empty space in the
sequence diagram.
So I'm reopening this on the grounds that the prioritization
for which object receives the resize event is incorrect in
the presence of multiple selection.

fixed in 1.5.5 (KDE 3.5.5)
