Problem: Snap functionality is supported, but it differs between diagram types. In some cases, there is no apparent snap zone outside a destination object. In one such case, once the mouse hits the destination object, the ghosted link line is snapped half an object width away while the mouse is still down. In other cases, there appears to be as much as half a centimeter of snap zone. Solution: provide a consistent snap zone for wires to all object types. Allow the snap zone to extend a bit outside the object itself.
Though perhaps an increased snap-zone would help, I think a cursor change when overtop of a target object versus the diagram would be most valuable. When over the diagram, the cursor should represent that fact that a menu will appear (arrow with mini menu decoration). When over a target element, the regular (current cursor) would appear. This would allow the user to immediately distinguish between the 2 use cases and provide them feedback as to what is going to happen when they release the mouse.
The bug is fixed as suggested by Steven (see comment #1). However, we need to come up with an image for a new cursor and commit the fix with the image files for the new cursor. The code has been reviewed.
As discussed, we can use an existing icon for 1.0.1
