Created attachment 108321 [details]
Screenshot of detached anchors

If I hide annotations in a diagram and I have annotations on properties, then what happens is that the anchors (the boxes drawn around the properties) become detached from the properties. That is, if I hide such annotations and I move a class on whiuchj I have those annotations, then the class moves but the anchor-boxes stay stationary in the diagram. Messy!!

It would be good if the anchor boxes could in any case become invisible - is that a possibility?

We still would have to fix this problem becasue the anchors seem to carry the tool handles with them.

Yes I can remove this boxes, but they perform some "debug" job, i.e. if you move a class and box didn't move it means that annotation edit part "lose" target object. It can occurs because of some TigerStripe exceptions (please look at your Error Log, may be there are some errors). Could you also share steps to reproduce?

Is this bug still occurred? If so, can you share steps to reproduce?

The diagram plugin for annotations needs to be checked. 
This may be fixed. Also, the diagram used to be marked as dirty in that case, this should not happen.

Already fixed.
