Recalculate sequence flows w/ corner when reconnecting elements

[franzheidl]

When I have a diagram with sequence flows
And my sequence flows have one or more corner
when I disconnect one of them
and I connect them to another element
then it should look exactly the same way as if I had connected it this way in the first place

Observed behavior

Only the part of the sequence flow after the last (yellow) point before the arrow end changes:

Desired behavior

The whole sequence flow element should be re-calculated in the same way as if it was placed to connect these two elements in the first place:

Depends on bpmn-io/bpmn-js#718

I agree that the diagram should be somewhat better layouted after the reconnection. Could you provide us with the diagram so we can reproduce your issue?

+1 This would really improve things!

@nikku Sure, here’s the diagram: https://cl.ly/mhwU

Seems like we're missing the auto-layout hook on element re-connection. I'll have a look into this one. 👍

In trainings this would significantly improve the "first impression" for users.
