Cannot move ports on properties enclosed by a frame (SysML ibd diagram) (#314)

If I move a port on a property element enclosed by a frame, the port jumps to the frame and cannot be moved back to the property. Very annoying and a major issue since this destroys my diagrams if I'm not very careful!

It can happen only when ports are not properly pinned to properties. Please, try version 6.51, it allows to change the container of port and it also fixes container settings.

Sorry, did write wrong version, I am using 6.51

Yes, the hotfix seems to work alright!

Sorry to say, but the problem has returned!

What I did was that I changed the setting for add to container to Partially overlapped elements because I thought that it should be the right setting for adding ports on the edge of a property.

All of a sudden when I was to add a comment to the port, it jumped from the property to the frame!

I then returned the setting to Fully overlapped elements, but that does not seem to work for the already created port.

It can be caused by z-order of elements - property is probably under the frame (which is transparent and allows to work with elements under itself). Please try to apply Send to back (from toolbar or menu Arrange/Order) to frame element.

I will do some other adjustments in algorithm of container changing to prevent this unwanted behavior.
