*** Knowns bugs and errors ***

In this version of Systemantica we have acknoledged the following bugs:
(1) When first connecting two objects with a structure relation one of the lines connecting between the rectangles and the triangles may appear connected but with no matching OPL sentence. In order to compensate for this you may need to drag the line and re-connect it to the desired shape.
Click once on the line to select it and then drag the the end of the line to the relevant shape.
If the line disappears altogether simply select the two objects you wish to connect and click on the structural relation again. 
(2) After openning an existing project, a duplicate OPL text may appear in the text area.
To fix that, disconnect and re-connect one of the links and the problem should be fixed.
Another option is to continue working on this system diagram and as soon as you generate a new OPM strcuture the OPL sentences will be re-written, this time showing up only once.
