Arrow visual behavior within multiple selection

Hello,

I have noticed a strange behavior with arrows that I think qualifies as a bug.

Test case:

1) Create a new application with a Flowchart control, leaving standard settings.
2) Run the application.
3) Create three boxes, creating two arrows from one box, each going to another box.

If you select one arrow, you can't move it, since unconnected arrows are not allowed by default. This is the desirable behavior.

However, if you select the two arrows and try moving them, they are treated as unconnected objects and you can move them around.

The arrows are reset when you stop dragging, so this issue is quite minor. However this can cause some visual annoyance in some more specific situations.

For instance, let's suppose you have one box attached to another, and the child box has an arrow connected to it. If you select the parent and the arrow, and then move them around, there will be a flicker, where you see the arrow being moved as a seperate object, and it being "reconnected" on the next frame.

This can also happen if you include the child box in selection, but only when this box has its move handle disabled.

I hope I described this clearly, it's not easy to explain Smiley Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Not quite. We are releasing version 4.0.4 of the control now. We'll improve arrows multiple selection in the next version.
