Description Philippe Cloutier 2012-06-27 15:03:42 UTC 
Connectors are largely broken in Calligra Flow 2.4.2. For one thing, the clickable area in a connection point to create a connector is very small. At the default zoom, the area appears to be about 3x3 pixels here. It can increase a bit with more zoom. However, it's also variable depending on the point. For example, on the side points of a pentagon, the area appears to contain a single pixel.

When one succeeds to hover that area, the cursor will change into a long arrow with a connector symbol to its left. However, for rusty or new users, the feature will appear to be unusable.
Note: if hovering the zone seems absolutely impossible for you, try clicking somewhere else (in an empty zone) and retry.

Reproducible: Always

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

The situation seems to have improved much in 2.9.11, so I'll assume someone fixed this.
