BUG REPORT -- Block Diagram Decorations

In an effort to organize my block diagram, I am wanting to draw colored boxes in the background.  Colors would have some meaning...i.e. grey is Program/Variable initialization, Black is error management, etc.
 
I use the decoration, free-label, to draw the boxes...since I can't color the frame decoration (a bug in its own right)...
 
I send the colored box to the back, and all my icons and constants show up great.  But no wires.  Wires appear to allways draw on the bottom, regardless.
 
This makes all my icons look disconnected.
 
help!  (I'm new to Labview, so other Block diagram organization suggestions are welcome.
 
Thanks!

WHen using the color tool, press the space bar to select frame|fill|both of any decoration. Use a colored frame and a transparent fill and it should work just fine for your purpose.
