Fill color behavior for 'annotation' seems unusual

Question

For the 'annotation' node in the flowchart panel (the thing that looks like a [ ), when I set both the fill colors to 'no fill' The line also dissappears. I would like the line to remain but the background of the text area to be transparent. This seems to work as expected for other node types. The 'line type' (thickness) also does not appear to work for the annotation. The line color does appear to work.

Answer 1

Thanks for pointing out these issues. This is indeed not the intended behavior. We'll correct this in one of the next releases.

In the meantime, I propose to use the 'Annotation' node of the BPMN palette.
