Error description
Attempting to Compare/Merge a Model (with it's previous local history or source control) in Rational Software Architect Designer 9.6.1 results in reversed before/after which in turn, caused the Merge function to incorrectly record changes. For example, the Merge function would treat added classes as removed and removed classes as added. To reproduce the issue: 1. In Rational Software Architect 9.6.1, create a simple Model Project. 2. Create a simple Model. Add an element and save. 3. Add a new element and save. 4. Right click on the two versions to compare. 5. You will see that the before and after window has changed position (compare it to RSA 9.6). The issue is that the merge editor will still assume the previous order and shows "added" as "deleted" and visa versa
