Hi,
what does an X in a circle indicate on a link ? I get this (together
with a label set to "true") on some links when editing other, seemingly
unrelated parts of a model. In parallel, the labels of other links shift
around (from one link to another).
Thanks,
Armin

If your model does not use ID's this will happen, since EMF will try to
come up with an ID for you element it will use the index of the element
within its containment feature
to avoid issues like these, i suggest using UUID's on your domain model
(like the diagram notation).
If you use GMFResourceFactory to create your resource will get that for free
if you check your generated diagram plugin.xml you will see how this is
being done for the diagram resource, it should be something like that
<extension point="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.extension_parser">
<?gmfgen generated="true"?>
<parser
type="????_diagram"
class=" org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.core.resources.GMFResourceFactor y ">
</parser>
</extension>
or you can change your domain model itself, to always use UUID's
Another side effect for not using ID's is that copy and paste (on the
diagram surface) will copy the diagram element but it will have troubles
copying your semantic element.
i Hope this helps

Ok, then I misunderstood, I thought this could be a property of the gmf
domain model. I had already added the above and it works.
