Up to now, the EditPartListener is pretty much restricted to life-cycle notification w.r.t. activation/deactivation only. It would however be useful if notifications about all relevant life-cycle phases of an edit part, as documented in  http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/topic/org.eclipse.gef.doc.isv/guide/guide.html?path=16_0_1_2#EditParts, would be fired, e.g. calls to setParent() or setModel().

Reproducible: Always

It seems clients have up to now worked without that. As GEF (MVC) 3.x is only maintained, resolving as WONTFIX. Within GEF4 MVC, we haven taken care of this already.
