Error description

  • In IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA), if you attempt to
    perform a Cut ? Paste of text within a table on the Properties ?
    Documentation tab, the 'Cut' icon will become inactive and the
    text will not be cut from the cell.
    
    The following steps reproduce the problem:
    
    1. Add a 2 x 2 table to the Properties ? Documentation field of
    any UML model element
    2. Add some text to one of the table cells and save the changes
    3. Try to Cut the text from the table cell by using either the
    context menu alternative 'Cut' or the CTRL + X button
    
    Expected Result: The text gets cut from the one table cell and
    you will then be able to paste it into another table cell.
    Actual Result: The 'Cut' icon becomes inactive and the text does
    not get cut from the table cell.  You will not be able to paste
    the text into another cell.
    
    Workaround:
    Use the 'Copy' option instead and then delete the text from the
    table cell where you wanted to remove the text.

    ****************************************************************
    User cannot cut text from a table cell. Workaround is to
    copy text first and then delete it in the cell.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This action was disabled becaused it messed up the table
    when multiple cells are selected. It should be disable only
    for multi-cell selection and not when only a single cell is
    selected.
