  While General::Model::PredefinedTypesInComboBox is correctly
  set to "void", there is something missing in this setup:
  
  General::Model::CommonTypes determines what packages
  Rhapsody can look in when trying to find types to use. This
  is very useful for both performance as well as combobox
  dropdown "cleanliness".  The problem with the project's
  setup is that CommonTypes is only set to "types", so this is
  the only package Rhapsody is allowed to look in.  It also
  needs to be able to look into PredefinedTypesC in order find
  void.
  

Problem conclusion

• To fix the problem, please change
  General::Model::CommonTypes to "types,PredefinedTypesC".
  Since General::Model::PredefinedTypesInComboBox is set to
  "void", void will be the only additional type you will see,
  which is what I assume is the desired behavior.
  

Temporary fix
