Describe the bug I'm currently trying to animate a sequential process by putting arrows and boxes into separate layers. The following is a minimal reproducible example. Here is my current setup:

I've labelled each arrow and textbox with the corresponding layer that it is assigned to. As another proof, here is a screenshot showing that the arrows and textboxes are assigned to their corresponding layer:

My understanding of layers is that, when I hide all layers except layers "step0" and "step1", then I should see this:

However, I instead see this:

The "step1" arrow only shows up when I show layer "step2", which is not the expected behavior:

The same problem happens when I show layer "step3", where the "step3" arrow only shows up when I show layer "step4":

It seems that the problem is that arrows (or connectors in general) cannot be put on their own separate layer, but are only assigned to the layer in which their corresponding shape is assigned to (the textboxes). Is there any way I can get the arrows to be on their own layer?

To Reproduce See above.
