Weird connection behaviour [message #490511]

Hi,

I noticed a weird behaviour on my diagram. Sometimes the connections go bizarre and become huge. They just have two bendpoint and go way down or up:

_ _
l l
l l
l l
l l
l l
l l
l_l

like that (for a little visualisation help Smile

- looks weird, I know)

I don't have any error in the log. If I check the option avoid obstacles or shortes distance in the properties that effect is gone. But I can't get rid of it in the default way.

Anyone noticed something like that?

Best regards,
Artur

Hello Artur,

Well, I doubt I can suggest anything reasonable here.. It's weird! :-)
You can try debuigging connection figure to see when/why and who set different
width parameter for it.. I think the problem is in the width of conection
line, right?

Hello Alex,

I don't think it's the width. I mean the two connected editparts have still the same distance. It seems like the algorithm suggests this bend points but that is ok. The only thing is, that the connection goes waaaaaayyy down and up again without any reason.

Right now I enabled avoide obstacles. This looks a little bit more ugly on my diagram, but at least the connections down do that weird jump.

I will try debugging it, but right now i don't really know who is responsible for figureing out where the bend points should be.

Best regards,
Artur

Hello Artur,

If you can see that bendpoint will be added to the connection somehow, then
you can try debugging EdgeImpl.getBendpoints() method to see where is it
called...
