Re: [bpmn2-modeler-dev] New release and Bug Hunt Contest announcement

Hi again Andrea,

Just to follow up on the problem you're seeing with multiple lanes within pools, here's a screeshot of a diagram I just put together that demonstrates this functionality [1]. If you're not able to construct this diagram, please let me know so I can figure out what the issue is...
