Connections sometimes below connectors

[Kristoffer]

I have custom styled connections and connectors. When I drag a connection between connector A and B, the line is (correctly) on top of the connectors. However, as soon as I have selected the nodes, the connectors end up on top of the line! This weirdness is preserved if I remove the connection and add a new one.

What is causing the connection's line to become obscured by the connectors?

Hello Kristoffer,

Connectors are part of the Shapes and by default, Shapes' ZIndex is set to 2 and Connections ZIndex is set to 1 via style. But when you are attaching a connection, it's essential that the connection is on top of the shapes and we are controlling / ensuring this in code. Imagine trying to attach a connection but unable to see it because it is behind the shapes.
Summary:
By design in normal mode (Pointer Tool) shapes are on top of connections.
By design in connection manipulation mode (Connector Tool or simply when attaching / detaching connection) connections are on top of the shapes.
