Cannot see the connection during creation [message #11685]

Hi
i'm trying to create a connection between two editparts on my editor, and
during the creation i can see the connection only when the cursor is above
the target of the connection. i have defined connection anchors for my
editparts and when i see the connection (i.e., the cursor is above the
target), the connection look fine and exactly the way i want it.
any ideas
thanks
yoav

The source node should be asked to show source feedback for the creation of
a connection, even when there is no current target.

to see this, open the View GEF->GEF Debug, and check the Toolbar button in
that view labeled "Feedback".
You will see logged requests as you move the mouse during connection
creation.

all i can see after i select the source of the connection , and during the
cursor move is a point near the cursor, and no line to represent the
connection. i've looked into GEF sources, but i couldn't find any idea
what am i doing wrong, i've setted the sourceEditPart of the request to
the actuall edit part, and it is returning the appropriate anchor (and
these methods are called, i have verified it), but still, i get the same
dot. any idea?

the Logic example?
