> Another quick question: Is it possible to control the length of the lifeline in a Sequence diagram? I have one with just six stimuli, and the long lifelines cause the overall image to be too high and the text to be unreadable. On another of my diagrams, the first lifeline is about three times the length of the others, and causes the overall image to be unreadable. I tried to adjust these with the broom tool, and with the Sequence diagram tool that reduces the space between stimulus arrows, but was unsuccessful. How can the length of the lifelines be controlled?

Well I don't know much about the sequence diagram implementation, but
I guess all the experts are busy.  As far as I know the length of the
lifeline is fixed in the current implementation.

Don't know.  From the description, it sounds like a bug.  If it
doesn't go away when you restart the session (ie reopen the project),
I'd file a bug report.
