Class diagram: how to represent deprecated static method

Question

I use strikethrough to represent deprecated fields and methods in a class diagram.

This renders nicely, _unless_ the method is also static.

For example:

class Test {
    +normalMethod(): void
    +--deprecatedMethod--(): void
    {static} +staticMethod(): void
    {static} +--deprecatedStaticMethod--(): void
}

Gets rendered as:

What is the recommended way to represent static deprecated methods?

Comments

Ideally, using something like {deprecated} in addition to {static} and {abstract} would be welcome to be even more semantically expressive.

OK on PNG: 

KO on SVG output: 

For debug purpose...

Thank you for the addition; I couldn't get the screenshots to work in this forum software.

Has there been progress on this issue?

The fact that the rendering is ok for PNG, while SVG is 'wrong' is interesting.

Not yet.

But I have just opened this issue directly on:

Hello S.,

Could you test with the last snapshot (v1.2025.2+) here:

We made a first change.

Enjoy,

Yes, my previously failing rendering now succeeded.

Thank you very much for tackling this!

I'll be sure to upgrade to 1.2026.2+ as soon as it comes out.
