Better text label and connector interaction

Scenario I’m drawing a diagram - diagramming icons with text labels.  I connect 2 icons together using a connector that attaches to the bottom of the icon.  My connector overlaps with the text, making it hard to read.

I can fix this by taking some steps:

  • I give the text a white highlight
  • I have to send the connector to the back (bringing icon to the front doesn’t work

Now my diagram looks super clear - the connector and the text look great.

Suggestion: make this behavior less fiddly!  I think the fact that “Bring to front” on the diagramming shape doesn’t already bring the text label in front of the connector might be a defect.  But if we are trying to make things slick and intuitive, perhaps you could think of a way to make this use case deliver the great looking outcome without the fuss.
