Editing controls should be always on the screen when I click the element #1386

Open slizenko opened 5 years ago

slizenko commented 5 years ago

When I click the element to edit, editing controls pop up on the right side of the element. It's ok for tasks, gateways, events but inconvenient when I am editing pool or swim lanes - I have to scroll left left left to see controls on the screen.

Very cumbersome when editing big diagrams.

See screenshots.

Can you share sample bpmn file for reference with your issue?

slizenko commented 5 years ago

@RamjiRamachandran, just create BPMN with loooong lanes and easy to reproduce the problem.

How do other tools solve such problem? Any idea how we could improve?

slizenko commented 5 years ago

In Modeler, controls pop up on the right side always even they are not on the screen. In other tools, they can pop up on either side depending on situation. IMO, Bounding Box of toolbox must be always on the screen.
