GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 307519
Connections going to central point when you don't need
Last modified: 2005-08-05 16:16:04 UTC
Add a Box to your diagram Enlarge it to have ennough room to put something inside it Add a textbox to your diagram write few chars not to loose it try to move it to the upper left corner not connecting it to any connection points. -> the textbox (or anything else with a connection point) connects itself to the central connection point. It would be great if we could have a key to disable the connection to anythong and just have a plain move. Then adding text into boxes not at the central CP would be possible. (If there is aready a way to do this that I didn't find, I am sorry)
A good example of how the central connectionpoints are a bit too eager. If avoidable, I don't want the central connectionpoints to be something you have to switch on and off, they're just too useful for that. At the very least, moving objects (as opposed to moving connectable handles) should not cause central connectionpoints to snap the object. Setting to major, as this problem makes a number of good uses problematic.
I'm tempted to mark this as duplicate of bug #303301 At least the fix there should fix this one as well ...
