Description Ansgar Radermacher

Build Identifier: 

Assume that you have two stereotypes that extend the same meta-class. The user might want to have two representations of this meta-class in his diagram. However, the extension will always point at the first representation and cannot be re-directed.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two stereotypes
2. Add the same meta-class twice to your diagram
3. Let the two stereotype extend the meta-class (but visually point at different representants.
=> Extension points to one of these representants

Small correction/precision: creating the initial extension works well. It is just not possible to redirect the extension to another representation of the same meta-class (which is in particular problematic, if I need to reconstruct a diagram from the model)

Correction: The bug is a general problem of re-targeting extensions, i.e. it is also not possible to retarget to another meta-class
