Description Alexandr Scherbatiy 2006-08-31 12:44:17 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

- Put a Class element on the diagram
- Name the element 'MyClass'
  Note that alias is 'MyClass' for the element
- Press <Ctrl+M> key combination several times
  to enable/disable aliasing

- Select the class element
There is no easy way to know is aliasing enabled or disabled

- Double click on 'MyClass' text in the class element
 I want to give alias for the element but if aliasing disabled
 I rename the class element instead of it.

(one way to know is aliasing enabled/disabled is by options dialog
 'Tools|Options|Advanced Options|UML|Show Aliases'
 buit it is difficult to do it every time when I press <Ctrl-M> key)

I can suggest to show Alias names on the elements in different color from
the real names.
