RSART Hang when moving attributes/operations in class diagrams

Class diagrams allow the user to move attributes & operations from one
class to another. If this is done (e.g. to promote an operation from a
class to its parent class), the tool hangs. The Move Element dialog box
is displayed and reports "Performing changes..." with a progress bar
that stalls at about 90% complete. Task Manager then has to be used to
terminate RSART.

The user believes he ran Load UML Models prior to attempting the move.

I attached a task trace the user made before killing the tool and
restarting.

The tool should not hang in these circumstances. Additionally, is
there an option to promote a function into a parent class via right
click, similar to how we can redefine an operation from a parent class
into a derived class?

From IBM:
"This is an ER for a new feature that would allow moving attributes and
operations between classes in an easier way that does not involve
refactoring"

From me:
The ability is already there and usually works. It sometimes crashes
the
tool, hence the PMR. Is this still an enhancement request? I consider
a
defect existing functionality that is broken, but if development
disagrees
I will open an RFE. Let me know, thanks!

From IBM:
Yes, make RFE.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion.

    This idea is either outdated or has been implemented in one of the versions. Please check with latest version (V 12.0 at the time of writing)

    The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans, so the idea will be closed. The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.

    Product family - Application Platform
    Product - Software Architect Real Time Edition

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - Rational

    We plan to add a "Promote" command to the context menu of an operation shown in the Operations tab in the Properties view. This will make it easier to promote an operation from a subclass to a superclass. We already support this for some other elements, such as states.
    Currently planned for 8.5.1 CP2. Note that the issue with the hanging is a defect and is not tracked as part of this RFE.
