Cool, I guess I overlooked the command that does the switch.

Maybe "Hide" (or "Collapse") should hide the object from the diagram
and "Delete" should remove the object from the object graph for real?
In fact "Delete" can keep the object visible in the diagram until the
next commit (only change its color to red, or add some other
indication that it was deleted).

Andrus,
Glad to hear what that we are on the same page re navigation at long
last. The save issue you mentioned needs work. Regarding the others:

Since that patch the layout can be toggled between manual and automatic.

I understand the confusion. Delete was only meant to refer to the visual
aspect: remove the visual representation from my diagram. Since the
patch I have added a command which actually deletes records. I am trying
to think of the manner in which they should be presented to make it most
intuitive.

That's fixed now.

Marcel,
I just committed the patch. Nice! I like the way navigation works now.
A few more notes:
1. When I modify some properties and save the object editor, the "*"
in the tab title is not cleared, so there is no visual indication
that the data was saved.
2. Would it be possible to combine your new auto-layout capabilities
and manual layout? I.e. allow the user to move things around and
avoid changing existing layout when a new object opens (rather find a
space for it somewhere in the visible area, even if it overlaps with
others)
3. When I am deleting an object via right mouse button menu, it only
becomes hidden, not deleted.
4. It would be nice to show which object currently has focus (e.g. by
changing the border thickness and/or color).
