I am trying to get line jumps to work but so far have no luck in doing so …
I have tried them with existing and new boards (just to make sure) but no avail
I am selecting the line type , enable line jumps and been trying various shapes/options but none seem to work.
Anyone has run into this ? Figured I would ask in case it is something simple :)

@xnivaxhzne - I am back on a desktop and was able to test a theory. Because line jump do not work on curved lines, the curved line needs to have a lower layer index value, i.e., it has to be behind the straight or angular/orthogonal line that has the jump enabled.
In this GIF, you can see that the line jump is visible on the straight line when the strait line is “on top of” the curved line, but then goes away when I bring the curved line in front of the straight line:
In my replication, the line jump feature worked for me even when the thickness is set below the midpoint.
Please note that Line jumps work only with straight and orthogonal lines.
In my screenshot, the line that “jumps” is a straight one and the curvy line is under it. In your screenshot, you should be able to make the line jump work on your end as long as the line you are setting up to “jump” is the straight one.
If this issue still persists, could you please confirm if this is happening in other boards as well or in a new board in an incognito mode? Could you also check if the line jump appears if you zoom in?

@Robert Johnson It seems this is why I didn’t see the line jump earlier and saw yesterday. So it’s an intentional design.
@Eca Maybe having the line jump always would be useful because, unless I am conscious about the front/back thing, I assume that it doesn’t work and I believe others do the same.
