Description Peter Cigehn CLA 2016-09-30 07:56:37 EDT 
This Bugzilla was originally identified in Bug 474244 Comment 30.

The pre-view connector behaves really strange, especially for the case of a relay port to a port on a capsule part, where the pre-view connector routes "outside" the capsule. This should be improved to route, and show, the connector more following how the user drags the connector towards the other port on the capsule part.

Are you sure? Have you tried this and seen how this behaves? Personally I find this behavior when drawing the connector to be really off-putting already for the 1.0 release. Also the aspect that this is something that probably needs to be fixed in base Papyrus makes me really want to have this fixed sooner than later, especially if the fix actually is needed in base Papyrus. 

I would at least like to have this investigated pre-1.0 to know if a fix is needed in base Papyrus or not.
