Node Overlap due to auto-placement but missing connection

Feedback & Ideas

Hi,

this likely isn’t worth working on but, as I issues a ticket about overlapping nodes, I felt this is required for completeness to cover this scenario too.

When placing a node on a connection, knime automatically rearranges all subsequent nodes. Though, if there isn’t a connection, like with the component end node sometimes, it causes the node to overlap.

Imagine the WIP-scenario and the automatic rearrangement causes node overlap. This can easily cause execution issues. For the component end node, as it can get missed easily, it could become difficult to spot it upon management of flow variables.

Here the correct placement done by knime if a connection is established.

Hi,

following this up as it also happens when pasting a node. Adding to this, t he pasted node is placed behind the existing one making it impossible to actually grab and place it correctly.
