Delay in Sequence Diagrams

Question

Hi,

I would like to do something like this:

A -> B
... argh ...
create C
B -> C

But the tool doesn't allow me to create C after a delay.

Why is this so, is this a bug?

Best Regards,

Wurzel

Hi,

Thanks for the report. It indeed looks like a bug.

This is strange, but the following diagram generates the following image (which is also another bug...)

A -> B
create C
... argh ...
B -> C

I came here to report that the lifelines turn solid when there's a delay.

Just to be clear, the other bug you're talking about is the fact that the lifelines are now solid?
