Migrated from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1433115 #### Steps to reproduce: <!-- Describe what you did (step-by-step) so we can reproduce: --> - open Inkscape - Add a background shape - Add a shape "1" - Add a shape "2" on top of the background shape (example in attached file) - Try to create a diagram connector from 1 to 2 #### What happened? - The diagram connector cannot be connected to shape 2, because it is on top of a background shape -- the handle to connect to shape 2 does not appear - Instead only the handle of the background shape appears #### What should have happened? Expected behavior: - The diagram connector can be connected both to shape 2 and the background shape, however the user desires - The shape in the foreground takes precedence over the background shape, not vice-versa Workarounds: - Move shape 2 to an empty area, then move back --> This is annoying - Move shape 2 below the background shape and connect -> this works !? #### Inkscape Version and Operating System: * Inkscape Version: 1.1-dev (12e2a09, 2020-02-19) * Operating System: Windows 10 * Operating System version: 10.0.18362  #### Migration info * Reproduced on Windows XP, Inkscape 0.91 and trunk rev. 14023. * Not reproduced with 0.48.5, Windows XP * not reproduced with rev 10326 (merge of cairo renderer), * not reproduced with rev 10578 (just before the merge of the rendering cache branch), * reproduced with rev 10579 (merge of rendering cache), * reproduced with rev >= 10588 (just before the removal of libnr in 10589); the regression is possible related to the changes for the renderer's caching (though disabling the cache e.g. with current trunk does not restore the behavior known from earlier releases). * Reproduced with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 and 0.91+devel r1491 on OS X 10.7.5.
