In the example above there is no text field and no displayed text in the
diagram element. It's a checkbox of a dialog (actually a dynpro :-))) model
that contains no text, and I'm using direct editing to select the data field
this checkbox is linked to. For my use case, it would be great if the direct
editing feature had a way to influence the size of the editor control. From
what I can see, the ideal point to plug this in would be the
TextCellLocator. There is a similar logic for text fields, using
def.stretchTextfieldToFitText(). I have tried this in a local copy of
Graphiti, and it works... Do you want me to submit a patch?
Thanks
Volker

Not sure if I fully understood your scenario, but yes, please feel free to
provide a patch.
