Trick: Arrow-Following - nice feature and a timesaver

Great analysis, @mlanders - thanks for pointing this out to us all!

Good catch, @mlanders  And thank you for sharing it with the community!

By the way, this is not a new feature   We described this behavior in the article Connection Lines.

@Marina  ...

I use miro so long and haven’t noticed this feature …

I love miro so much … it’s like an old couple living together and after years maybe there is still something new - good … you haven’t noticed before …

I think I picked this up during development of Clusterizer -- so many hours spent with lines and sticky notes. Indeed these are the little details that add up to the best UI of collaborative white boarding tools. 

@mlanders never a bad time to thank the Miro developers  … I love these thank you notes you’ve been writing, keep em coming. 

I use this all the time! I actually have a few wishes that I feel aren't big enough to make separate posts for, but I'll take the liberty of piggybacking on this thread 😇

- I wish I could set this to be the default when creating new elements while drawing a new connection

- I wish it was possible to combine it with the shape edge connection feature, so the line ends automatically trace the shape contours.

- I love how multiple lines spread out automatically when connecting to the same side of an element. But I wish this would work together with "fixed" edge connections (which always snap to the center point), because it looks bad when there's a mix.

Actually, being able to control this per line as a style setting would be nice, choosing between three modes: Snap to side center, snap to side spread-out, and trace contours. And you'd still control which side to use or to pick sides automatically using the existing connection points on shapes. That would basically combine all my wishes, since new lines use the same style settings as the last one, essentially making it "default".

Centre Connection has become ‘odd’
I use centre connecton all the time, but sometime recently MIRO has changed and no longer shows be the white centre dot to connect to - I can stil make a connection, but cannot see the dot to be sure - so have to try and and then move object to test it has worked>
ASLO in some cases - the arrow then sits in front of the object - on top of the stick-ie - where is used to sit at the edge, even when centre connected.

I’d recommend opening a wish list item for this following the guidelines here: Wish List: Everything You Need to Know 🌠 | Miro
