Error description

  • In IBM Rational Software Architect, if you try to re-size a rich
    text table's columns and rows, the size will return to the
    default after saving.
    
    The following steps reproduce the problem:
    
    1. Make sure that Window ? Preferences ? Modeling ? Text ?
    Enable rich text editing is selected
    
    2. Create a UML project and model
    
    
    3. Add, for example, a class to the model
    
    
    4. Add a table to the Documentation
    
    
    5. Adjust the width and length of the table's rows and columns
    
    
    6. Click on the model in the Project Explorer and save the
    changes
    
    
    7. Return the focus to the table
    
    
    Expected Result: The table's cells have the same width and
    length as in Step 5
    
    
    Actual Result: The table's cells revert to the default width and
    length
    
    There is no workaround to this problem.

    The table column width changes were not made effective
    during reload of table in Documentation rich text area.
    

Problem conclusion

  • It has been nesessary to read the column definition and
    create table columns accordingly instead of creating them
    with equal width based on maximum number of cells in a row
    of a table.
