Expand Overlapped Transactions

Transactions are temporal and have a defined begin/end time and just like with assertions, transactions can be overlapped.  In the waveform view, the transaction start/end is indicated by triangles (see the first figure). You can select the triangle to bring that transaction to the front. When there are a lot of overlapping transactions, it can be difficult to locate the transaction of interest. To solve this, select the stream and invoke the Waveform .-> Expand/Shrink Transaction Signal to expand the transaction and remove the overlap (see the second figure).  You can invoke the command again to return to a single level.
