In all CanonicalEditPolicies the last call in a semanticRefresh() is

CanonicalEditPolicy.makeViewsImmutable(createdViews);

This executes an AsyncCommand *asynchronously* in the UI-Thread. 

The problem is, that the DiagramEventBroker listens to new View creations and decides whether the view gets persisted or not according to its mutable flag. If the flag is not set, the view does not get persisted. 

When the mutable flag is set asynchronously, the DiagramEventBroker.transactionAboutToCommit() usually gets executed *before* the mutable flag gets set. Hence most freshly created views do not get persisted.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create fresh diagram file and open Editor
2. Do semantical changes on the model with not changing the views manually (we do with Xtend M2M transformations)
3. save and close Diagram (views are correctly visible)
4. re-open diagram -> Some views are missing and we get

"IRJS0007E Semantic refresh failed."

Looking at the serialized notation model, we find that some of the Shapes that should be there haven't been serialized and hence some of the connections do not find their source and target Shapes.

Another way to reproduce:

1. Create semantics file
2. Initialize Diagram from semantics file (Context Menu Command)
3. Immediately save (no manual editing), close diagram
4. Re-open -> for many GMF generated editors we've tried, the diagram is empty
