Description fbab 2007-06-26 12:13:26 UTC 
Hello,

Thank you for the great work done. Nevertheless I would like to let you know an annoying constraint when drawing UML diagrams. It has been brilliantly expressed in a mailing-list but I did not find it in Bugzilla.

Yours sincerely, fbab.

Hello.
Why are some UML objects resizeable (e.g., node, or large package),
and most others are not (e.g., actor, component). Is it because of
legacy code or simply considered as not necessary? It would be very
nice, if all UML objects are resizeable.
Regards, Sebastian

It is because of legacy code and/or the complexity involved in determining the correct rendering.  Thus it is merely a question of somebody pluggin in the right code.

I'd also like to have automatic word wrapping of text fields in shapes, such as state's actions.
