Break in while loop renders incorrectly

Question

There is an issue where break statements inside while loops do not render correctly. In the following example, I expect "TestNode" to be linked to "Clean up" but instead it seems to just be detached.

P.S. Thanks for writing this amazing program! The diagrams it makes are much more beautiful and well organized compared to other generators!

Thanks for your report.

The fact is that this "break" feature is still beta and was only implemented for "repeat" loop (and not "while" loop).

Anyway, adding this feature to while loop was not so hard, so we did it in last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar

We've upgraded the online server so your example is working now (use ctrl-F5 to force cache reload) http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/HSun3i8m30NGtQVmc5wX5Q8IB2nCN20bloGYJQhQLSNjSLXOREdxIT-ZgDzqNp8TCMMucx3d4q_dZfEm-q0wOkwlbQKkq9ZAQx0WpKq6aq-J6b7-zW7HUmreRjhWtxQH1UnARG0bf9bi_XgflsJumliwa6XTQRIB_VC5

However, do not expect too much on this feature. It will work on simple case, but will fail on complex ones.

So we are interested in feedback!
