Text over lifeline

Question

When i align the sequence message to center and have a message over lifelines, the lifeline is still visible under the message. But when i add a note it hides the lifeline. How can i get the same behavior with message over lifeline?

@startuml
autonumber
skinparam SequenceMessageAlign center
participant "one" as one
participant "two" as two
participant "three" as three
one -> three: sample te
rnote over one, three
Hello
endrnote
@enduml

Hello J.,

A possible workaround, is to use creole `<back:white>`, as:

	Code	Output
Without	@startuml scale 3 hide footbox autonumber skinparam SequenceMessageAlign center participant "one" as one participant "two" as two participant "three" as three one -> three: sample te rnote over one, three Hello endrnote @enduml
With	@startuml scale 3 hide footbox autonumber skinparam SequenceMessageAlign center participant "one" as one participant "two" as two participant "three" as three one -> three: <back:white>sample te rnote over one, three Hello endrnote @enduml

See doc. here:

I found a better way of doing this. Just adding this worked for me.

skinparam SequenceMessage {
    BackgroundColor #white

}
