Avoid text when connecting line

I just started using Miro today (like it overall) and this line-over-text issue is the first annoying thing I was futzing around trying to fix. I found this feature requested because I was searching for advice about how to have connectors look like the right hand side of Gordon’s diagram or as an alternative move the text out of the way of the connector (which I also do not think is possible). Would love to see this update.

Trying to create an architecture diagram and this was getting on my nerves. Would love to see this resolved.

I see the issue present on other tools like Lucidchart, so I’m not sure what the planned resolution is for this. For now I am reducing the connector thickness.

Until this gets resolved, I created a rectangle shape (with no apparent border) around the image and the text I wanted to connect to. Then, I connected the line to that rectangle. It really is a workaround and takes time. But, might be useful for some.

hi ​@Mat Raymond 

Thanks so much for sharing this tip! Hopefully it is useful to other members in the community. Cheers!

A workaround I just found: highlight the text white and it will sit over the line 

Thanks for updating the thread with this tip, ​@Gabriela Castellanos! I’m sure others will find it useful as well. Appreciate it!

I am trying to move the text on top of the icon to resolve this.  Can only seem to adjust the text position on the connectors, not the shapes.
