Description pafal 2012-01-06 08:49:47 UTC
Problem description:
The connector cannot be selected after it's end is moved. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start LibO Draw
2. Select any connector and place it from left to right to the drawing space.
3. Move the left endpoint to right that way the left endpoint x coordinate is greater than right endpoint coordinate.
4. click to the empty space to unselect the connector
5. click to the connector to select it again (imposible)
6. click and drag the mouse to create selection bounding box to cover and select the connector (impossible).
7. Stop being annoyed and save/reload the document, the connector can be selected again, until one end is moved "wrongly". It works also for y coordinate and any direction.
8. Please note in the case the bounding box covers ORIGINAL connector placement (although there is no more connector but empty space), the connector can be selected. But it's not so practical to remember original positions of all connectors in time...

Current behavior:
see above

Expected behavior:
Be able to select any connector which endpoints are moved in any direction...

Platform (if different from the browser): 
I guess it's platform independent, but experienced on Win7 64b.

In the case any donation would speed up the fix of this bug, please let me know, I hate it and would appreciate the normal operation again...

Thank you.

Regards

I have the same problem with version 3.5.1.2, Win7.

It really makes working with LibO Draw using connector lines a pain.
