[kepler-users] Bug with saving actors to library

[Tomasz Żok]

Hi Christopher,

I am using Kepler on Linux. The "Save in Library" position in menu is in both 
1.0.0 version and with the newest one from svn. Please see the screenshot 
attached. I will have a possibility to check the bug existence in a clean tree 
on Thursday.

Also, please note, that this error occurs not only with such simple example. I 
found it out in one of my complex composites, and just prepared a minimal 
reproducible example to send it here on list :)

In the real use case I introduced such relation<->relation links to improve 
readability of workflow. And this real use case for sure has other actors, ports, 
etc.

Regards,
Tomek
