Footer text on sequence diagrams appears over sequences

asked Dec 28, 2018 in Bug by Duncan

The footer should be appended to the bottom of a sequence diagram with additional space for it. Currently in some situations it obscures part of the diagram by having a standard offset from the bottom causing it to overlap with diagram elements.

Hi,

Could you explain what is incorrect?

Trouble I encounter is with an overlapping Legend and Footer

@startuml
Bob -> Alice : hello
legend
this is a legend
end legend
footer
this is the footertop
this is the footerbottom
end footer

Would be great if this can be fixed.
