Description

Transactions, Edges and Links do not appear to be rendering correctly in the graph view, it appears to be a logic issue concerning undirected transactions. In cases where a transaction is manually created and redefined as undirected, the graph view classifies it with other directed transactions and in some cases renders it as a directed transaction.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a graph in edge mode with two Nodes, A and B.

2. Add a transaction from Node A to Node B

3. Change the value of the attribute "directed" to False (Notice the arrow disappear form the end of the transaction).

4. Add a transaction from Node B to node A (Note the arrow reappear on the undirected transaction).

5. Select the undirected transaction (Notice the arrow disappear from the undirected transaction)

6. Add another transaction from Node A to Node B (notice the grouping with the undirected graph and the persistence of the arrow)

Note: similar anomalies exist with links where an undirected link that was previously directed can cause a link to express association in an incorrect direction. Select link mode after step 5 and observe a bidirectional association instead of unidirectional.

Behaviour

Expected behaviour:

Undirected transaction should be treated as a separate entity. The are one of three edge types. 2x Directed + 1x Undirected. they should not be grouped with directed edges unless being represented as a link.
