Plantuml do not support two flow in one diagram

[chenzz]

Plantuml do not support two flow in one diagram, while mermaid support.

Could you please support this?

minimalist example as follows,

• mermaid

  sequenceDiagram
  
  note over Leader: dispatch task
  activate Leader
  Leader ->> +Worker: do something
  Worker ->> -Leader: ok
  deactivate Leader
  
  note over Worker: report status
  activate Worker
  Worker ->> +Leader: task finished
  Leader ->> -Worker: ok
  deactivate Worker

  

• plantuml

  @startuml
  note over Leader: dispatch task
  activate Leader
  Leader -> Worker++: do something
  Worker -> Leader--: ok
  deactivate Leader
  
  note over Worker: report status
  activate Worker
  Worker -> Leader++: task finished
  Leader -> Worker--: ok
  deactivate Worker

Hello @chenzz,

A possible workaround (Thanks to @SergeWenger) is to add, just after the note: Worker -[hidden]> Worker

@startuml
    note over Leader: dispatch task
    Leader -[hidden]> Leader
    activate Leader
    Leader -> Worker++: do something
    Worker -> Leader--: ok
    deactivate Leader

    note over Worker: report status
    Worker  -[hidden]> Worker
    activate Worker
    Worker -> Leader++: task finished
    Leader -> Worker--: ok
    deactivate Worker
