Diagram elements are unintentionally shifted in diagram L4 - LIEX in EA 16.1.1628 Build:1628 (64-bit) #7
Description
Description:
While working with the diagram L4 - LIEX, I observed that if I move an element with a port on its left side too far to the left—such that the port's label collides with the diagram frame or with the label of a port placed directly on the frame—then the affected element and all other elements on the diagram are automatically shifted to the right.
This issue occurs in Enterprise Architect 16.1.1628 (64-bit) with SAF MDG 2024.02 and affects element layout stability and diagram positioning behavior.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the L4 - LIEX diagram in EA 16.1.1628
Add an element with a port on its left side
Move this element close to the left edge of the diagram
Ensure the port's label collides with the frame or a port label on the frame
Observe that the element—and all others—shift to the right unexpectedly
Expected Behavior:
In SysML IBD diagrams, overlapping port labels are typically tolerated without causing layout shifts.
Alternatively, only the conflicting element should shift, not the entire diagram content.
Actual Behavior:
All elements on the diagram are shifted to the right when such a label collision occurs.
Workaround / Notes:
Keep a minimum distance between elements and the left side of the diagram.
The required minimum distance increases with the width of the port label text.
Environment:
Tool: Enterprise Architect 16.1.1628 (Build: 1628, 64-bit)
MDG: SAF 2024.02
Platform: Windows
Severity:
Medium – affects modeling usability and layout control during diagram construction.
