LabVIEW Bug Report: Free label arrow and While Loop objects get disconnected when the diagram is resized

[X.]

Attach a freel label arrow to a Shift Register (or the Condional Terminal, or the Loop Index) and expand the diagram using Ctrl-Drag and the arrow will loose its connection to the Shift Register (or the Condional Terminal, or the Loop Index).

Try the same with a For Loop and everything is fine.

Tested in LV 2015 64 bit.

Nice catch.  I've submitted this bug to R&D and they will prioritize it accordingly.  The corrective action request number is 556764.  You can reference that number in future patches/updates to see if it has been fixed.

Thanks for the tip!

Didn't you find another super-weird bug realted to the label arrow where you did something and it disappeared and you could no longer grab it to move it?  I forgot what it was, but this sounds kind of related...

You mean this report? Or this one? I guess I could also throw this one in? And what about this one?

You got to wonder how much NI pays their beta testers...

It's the first one is the one I remember, though they are all very interesting, strange things.

As for beta testing... that's why there's always a version 1.1.  You're never going to catch all the bugs.  😄

When were the arrows introduced? 2013 if I recall correctly...

They spent a lot of time making the new icon.

All this would be mostly irrelevant if we had shift register labels...

If I have a constant attached to the shift register, that is labeled (which has the nice side effect of having that property transferred to the wire, making it extremely easy to follow it around).  Also, the wire that is attached on the inside is labeled for me, too.  So, in my case at least, I don't worry about free label arrows attaching to shift registers.

I am referring to uninitialized shift-register, obviously. And in most of my use case, there is no space for a wire label inside the llop, as the wire goes straight into a state machine (or more generally a case structure).
