Incorrect Query Graph Visualization

[reedwoodruff]

Description

There is an issue when executing Cypher queries which attempt to filter out particular edges. When you have two edges between the nodes and attempt to filter one of them out, both edges are still returned. This issue is only on desktop Neo4j Browser version: 5.15.0. It does not occur in the Aura interface. The issue is only in the "Graph" view -- the "Table" view returns the correct results.

Reproduce Steps

First create the setup:

CREATE (n1:Word)
CREATE (n2:Word)
CREATE(n2)-[:Previous]->(n1)
CREATE(n1)-[:Next]->(n2)

Next run the query:

MATCH (a)-[b]-(c)
WHERE NOT(b:Previous)
RETURN a, b, c

Expected Behavior

Expected behavior is for only the "Next" relationship to appear in the graph visualization of the query results.

Current Behavior

Both the "Next" and the "Previous" relationship are visible in the graph view. (Again, this works as expected in the Aura environment and the Bloom environment)

Your Environment

Neo4j Browser version: 5.15.0

Hi! You've likely got the Connect result nodes setting turned on It'll fill in missing relationships in the visualisation, it's most notable when you do MATCH (n) RETURN n <-- you get a graph even though you only returned nodes. It's a confusing feature, which is why we've removed it in aura

Ah, you're right! Thank you for your help. Changing the setting produces the expected behavior.
