Hi,

I couldn't reproduce the problem you report in my workspace.
Your problem might be due to a bug in the generation of XML
for IDL typedefs in general, which was fixed on Oct. 31, after
CoSMIC 0.4.6 was released. CoSMIC version 0.4.7 was released
on October 23. Could you update to that version and let me know
if the problem persists?

thanks,

Jeff Parsons
