Description severoraz 2013-03-10 22:05:37 UTC
Draw is my preferred application for drawing a mind map, or concept map. However, I find it very awkward to not be able to target a connector line to the center of a shape (and thus behind it, so the connector line doesn't overlap the shape), for two reasons:
1. This is the instinctive way of connecting 2 shapes in a mind map.
2. Moving around shapes without this feature makes connector lines sometimes end up in awkward spaces.

Please consider implementing this!

Looks like there has been X mas meanwhile (sorry for the delay). You can add glue points at any position, draw connectors between them, and "send it to background" via "arrange". Close this ticket as FIXED.

"Fixed" is used when a specific commit, resolving the issue, is known.
