connection clipping and containers [message #18038]

I am seeing a problem with connections not clipping when they
connect two nodes that are within a nested container. I can
also reproduce this behavior using the logic example:

1) add a "Circuit" component to a logic diagram
2) place two gates within the cicuit component
3) make a connection between the two gates
4) resize the circuit recatngle so that one of the
gates is occluded.

The edge (connection) is now drawn out of the circuit
container and appears to have no target, ie it is not
clipped where it intersects the circuit container. Is
this a GEF bug or can this be fixed by some change to
the application code (I'm having the same problem in
my application)

Thanks,

-David

This is by design. If you want to change the figure which parents the
connection to be some layer in your container, see
AbstractConnectionEditPart#activateFigure(). This determines the
connection's parent, and therefore its clipping.
