Description Steven R. Shaw CLA 2006-06-05 09:24:52 EDT 
Steps:
- Change preference to use rectilinear routing by default
- Create 2 geometric shapes (rectangle).
- Connection geometric shapes with line tool.
- Connect to the side of the shapes for non-standard anchor position.

Problem:
- Feedback is not rectilinear
- Resulting anchor positions doesn't match feedback
Comment 1 Steven R. Shaw CLA 2006-06-06 13:09:30 EDT 
This actually works fine if the size of the target and source geometric shapes are large enough and the line is drawn orthogonally.  The problem seems to be about precision and the fact that the feedback doesn't represent the end result.

patch that will use default router for creation feedback

Patch uses the proper connnection router based on the preferences so that the feedback the user sees will reflect what is created.

Setting milestone for 1.0.1
Comment 4 Steven R. Shaw CLA 2006-07-14 10:28:57 EDT 
- Fixed problem where feedback on connection wasn't reflecting the final routing that is used to route the connection.  Now use the preference store to retrieve the router to use for routing the feedback connection to accurately reflect the position of the connection after committing the gesture.
