Description Charles Rivet CLA 2017-05-05 14:02:25 EDT 
When a state is created with a long name, the default graphical representation leaves very little margin to the border of the state, making the diagram less legible and requiring the modeler to resize the state to keep it legible.
A new created state should always be created with enough space so that its name is easily legible, e.g., leaving larger margins (e.g., 5-7 pixels).

This would improve usability and readability of the state machine diagram.
Comment 1 Peter Cigehn CLA 2017-05-08 03:54:23 EDT 
I would suggest to make the margin aligned with the legacy tooling and have a margin of 12 pixels. See Bug 513041 Comment 3.
Comment 2 Ansgar Radermacher CLA 2017-05-09 04:27:14 EDT 
I agree that the automatic width calculation should leave some space around the name.
