UML22 — Section: 15.3.8 (second issue)

"Entry actions of states entered on the path to the state represented by a deep history are performed." It's open which path is taken if there are more than one paths to the state.

The word 'Path' has raised ambiguity with respect to how the history state will restore the active state configuration. There is only one way that the history will restore the active state, and that is through an implicit direct path from the history state to the innermost active states being reactivated (almost as though a transition is drawn directly from H* to the last active state). It in no way implies a state-by-state approach. (e.g. a path from the initial state to the last active state)
