message to self displayed not per standard immediately before deactivate

Question

1. In the example below, the arrow tip in the message to self should be upper the deactivation point (not below the deactivation point). Deactivation point needs to be at least right where the arrow tip points the life line

 

@startuml

 

skinparam style strictuml

 

activate object

object->>object: messageToSelf(parameters)\nreturnValue

deactivate object

 

@enduml

 

 

 

2. Also, per http://www.tracemodeler.com/articles/a_quick_introduction_to_uml_sequence_diagrams/

one should be able to specify the call and return value and appropriate (call/return) arrow styles
