How to extend activation beyond the last message in sequence diagram?

asked Nov 3, 2014 in Bug by anonymous

As documentation says, the "deactivate" command is applied to the previous message, I would like however in some cases to extend the activation beyond the last call. Here is the simplest example:


@startuml{out.png}
participant A
activate A
A -> B: Test
activate B
B -> A: Ok
deactivate B
deactivate A
@enduml

 

"A" starts a bit earlier on the diagram and I would like it to end a bit later than "B". Ideally I would like to just add "space" like that:

@startuml{out.png}
participant A
activate A
A -> B: Test
activate B
B -> A: Ok
deactivate B
|||
deactivate A
@enduml

 

Which doesn't work right now, so I use a white colored signal as a workaround (which is kinda ugly) :

@startuml{out.png}
participant A
activate A
A -> B: Test
activate B
B -> A: Ok
deactivate B
B -[#FFFFFF]->]
deactivate A
@enduml
