Hello,

I've a question regarding the default ElkLayoutProviders priority, which leads to problems in some of our graphs (Graphs which are non-ELK layouted). I noticed that the arrange all command in non-elk layouted graphs tries to invoke the ElkLayoutProvider which fails with the message:

"!ENTRY org.eclipse.elk.core.service 2 0 2021-01-05 13:46:46.709
!MESSAGE Unable to build the layout graph from the given selection."

Does it have a special meaning to define it with high priority? It looks for me like a fall-back layouting algorithm if nothing was defined. Do I have to change the priority of all other non-elk layout providers priority to high for avoiding these problems? Thank you in advance.

Best regards
MKaraman
