I have an icon (aka component) on the canvas with a decorator on it. The
decorator covers the entire component with the center being transparent
(like a frame). The problem is that when I hover over the component, the
hanger (please refer to the arrow with the square at the end sticking
out of the calculate component in the attached image) that normally
protrudes from the component and allows me to make connections to other
components no longer appears. After some experimenting, I noticed that
this always happens when the arrow hovers over the decorator image.
Somehow, Eclipse no longer recognizes it is hovering over a component
when the arrow is over the decorator.
Does anybody know if there is a way around this? Is there a way for
Eclipse to recognize the arrow is hovering over a component (and thus
trigger behavior that would normally occur when the arrow is over only
the component) even when the arrow is directly over a decorator image on
the component?
I've attached an image for clarity. Any help in shedding some light on
this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
