Creating links become difficult when lots of links are already present #72

Closed nschoe closed 5 years ago

nschoe commented 5 years ago

Reported by @adrienjauffret . Two different behaviors (which I believe are related):

when several links are already FROM a Function, it becomes difficult to create a new link from this Function
when several links are already TO a Function, it becomes difficult to add a new link to this Function

I believe this is a z-index problem: the z-index of the link are greater than the z-index of the input and output slots.

After additional testing, I found that this issues only arises when items are in a Zone. Outside a zone, since the z-index values are correctly orders, links are behind the slots and we can create as many links as we want, easily.

But as soon as boxes are added to a Zone, for some reason, the link are now displayed on top of the slots, which make the aforementioned issue. I have checked the z-index for items inside a zone and they are still correct. I'll keep looking.
