Comment 1 Gabriel Diosan 2015-04-13 14:55:03 UTC
I can confirm this behaviour in the following:

LibreOffice 4.4.2 (Ubuntu 15.04 repo)

LibreOffice Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: b024e36ddb3b53163d7a01f6f7b5aadb7a858cd9
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2015-03-31_09:12:20
Locale: en_AU

LibreOffice 3.5.0

All testing on Ubuntu Gnome 15.04.

It should be noted that the glue points do not appear for all shapes. I will attach 2 screenshots showing various shapes with some showing the glue points whilst others do not.

Changing this from UNCONFIRMED to NEW.

Given that this appears to be a small visual detail should the importance be dropped to low?

Not sure how this one should be prioritized, but this visual detail is incorrectly showing something that cant be achieved.

It's not a data-loss bug, but it is misleading, and probably frustrates anyone who's trying to learn how to use the flowchart tools. Medium/Normal sounds pretty reasonable.

Assuming you expect that ordinary lines must not be treated as connector - which leads to the glue points, AFAIK - whether or not they are arrow'ed.

Yes glue points appear when drawing ordinary lines, though they dont glue to them. Also, the glue points dont appear if you modify the line that was just drawn which previously did show glue points.
