Hey all,

I came across a behaviour I've never noticed before.

If I create a FreeFormConnection and add the bendpoints from another FreeFormConnection into it, the bendpoints from the first one are deleted afterwards.

AddConnectionContext addContext = new AddConnectionContext(start, end);
FreeFormConnection newCon = (FreeFormConnection) getFeatureProvider().addIfPossible(addContext);

FreeFormConnection tc = (FreeFormConnection) c;
System.out.println(tc.getBendpoints().size()); //returns 2
newCon.getBendpoints().addAll(tc.getBendpoints());
System.out.println(tc.getBendpoints().size()); //returns 0

Am I doing something wrong?

This typically happens when copying references to contained objects.
Since en EObject can only be contained in one container, such a copy
becomes a move. Use EcoreUtil.copy to create a deep copy and add the
copies instead.
