Hello,

I have created a little example project for my question.

1. There is a simple model with the classes Root, Person, City.

2. I create to different Instances for Root and add a Person with the same name

3. The diff says no differences Smile

4. I add a city to the first instance and then a reference from the person is set to the city.

5. The diff says "Reference changed" and "City added" Smile

6. Then I merge the Instances from left to right

7. The diff says no differences Smile

But when I look into the Person Instances the city reference from the second instance is not the newly created city instance. It is a reference to the city instance from the first model instance.

I think the city reference should point to thew newly created one?

1. Compare
2. Add & Assign City
3. Compare
Reference city in Testname1 changed from null to City?
City? has been added
4. Merge
5. Compare
6. Root1
Persons: 352450804 [City: 1736599312 / file:/.../workspace/de.pelle7.env/file1.nop], 
Cities: 1736599312, 
7. Root2
Persons: 674993851 [City: 1736599312 / file:/.../workspace/de.pelle7.env/file1.nop], 
Cities: 574390407,

Perhaps this problem is related to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=355897
