[Xerte] Annotated Diagram page wizard in Xerte 2 desktop

Hello Julian,

Thanks for the updated models, I took a quick look at them with a view to
updating the page wizards.

Annotated diagram
The new model fails to show the descriptive text for a hotspot group unless
an ordinary hotspot has first been
actioned so that the yellow text area has been displayed.

This appears to be because in the original model the text icon named
"information" was not a child of the
clickHandler, but was outside of the protoLabel and protoGroupLabel icon
structure, so that it could be referenced
both by a single annotation or a group annotation.

By bringing it inside the protoLabel structure it is not displayed until a
standard hotspot has been used. In an example where all the hotspots are
contained in hotspot groups no descriptive text will ever be displayed.

Drag drop label
Colour highlighting of hotspots is no longer registering - hotspots are now
boxed in black rather than yellow, so do not show up well, and when a label
is dragged onto the wrong location no error message is displayed (Try again
use to be displayed)

Kind regards

Johnathan
