Description Jacques LESCOT CLA 2008-02-22 11:21:58 EST 
Due to compartment selection behavior, it is not possible to select two EAttributes from two different EClass in the same time by using CTRL key access. However, this  might be quite useful to change their properties (bounds, type, containment, ...) in a single command through the properties view.
Comment 1 Jacques LESCOT CLA 2009-03-25 07:29:37 EDT 
Fixed in HEAD. Solution was to override the isSelectable() method to change the code implementation that was done in the parent class (CompartmentEditPart).

So now, it is possible to directly select an EAttribute, EOperation, EEnumLiteral or a DetailEntry from an EAnnotation without having to select first the parent figure.

This fix generates however a minor limitation : indeed, to select the parent EClass (or EENum, or EAnnotation), you have to select it from its header area, from an empty Compartment or from the empty space of the last Compartment.
