Description: A connector may be attached to an object at a user-defined sticky point. During dragging the connector user defined points are not shown and very hard to hit. Connection to a user-defined point is possible only if its location is known. Steps to Reproduce: 1. define an object, maybe by grouping a rectangle and a circle 2. define a sticky point (use sticky points toolbar) 3. drag a connector from anywhere to the object Actual Results: Standard points of the object are shown. For a group of objects, these are on top, bottom, left and right. The user-defined point is not shown. Expected Results: The user-defined sticky point is shown during drag so that the connector may attach to it. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.1.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 47f78053abe362b9384784d31a6e56f8511eb1c1 CPU threads: 6; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.7; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded
Thank you for reporting the bug. Please attach a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested document is provided. (Note that the attachment will be public, remove any sensitive information before attaching it.

Created attachment 175386 [details] object with user defined sticky point Here is a document to illustrate the point. During preparation I also noticed that a connector will attach to an object on a locked layer, which is probably a different bug. The arrows in the file are therefore not locked but slightly off the actual sticky points.

(In reply to birnbach@posteo.de from comment #2) > Created attachment 175386 [details] This bug seems to be fixed in version 7.2, please upgrade and try it again with this version.
Well, no. The problem persists in 7.2.2.2. User defined sticky points will be indicated even if the object is grouped with another object, BUT one cannot connect to them. Once a connection is made, however, it is maintained even if the object is then grouped with another one. This is significantly limits connector functionality. A circuit diagram, for instance, is really hard to draw if you need to divide each transistor into arcs and boxes before you can wire it up.
