Diagram: Boxes without ports have connections always begin/end on the left side

[bkolb]

Not sure if this a limitation of the layouter or a constraint we have for the layouter

[slisson]

I have never seen this and don't know how to reproduce it.

Please see an example here:

Is this an acceptable solution?

[bkolb]

this is my workaround currently :-) I can live with that, although I would prefer if I would have a flag (similar to the one for the order) and let it be optimised by the layouter. For larger diagrams the src/target order is more or less arbitrary and creates confusion on the user side

[slisson]

Then it's the same issue as #284, because it only happens when the ports are on the wrong side.

[bkolb]

kind of, yes. But there could also be the possibility that the port is on the left (intentionally) and the connection should end on the right side of the box without the port. I was not sure if there is a "manual" constraint in our code or if that is a limitation of the layouter

@alexanderpann, @slisson do you know if there was any change trageting this issue?

I will remove myself as assignee, didn't ever work on this topic.
