The self message arrow is behind the end of lifeline

Question

语法是：

activate Alice
Alice -> Alice : step1
Alice -> Alice : step2
deactivate Alice

你会发现第二个自我消息箭头在生命线末端后面，如何像第一个一样修复它

(You will find the second self message arrow behind the end of the life line, how to fix it like the first one?)

Hello A., and all,
