#3131 connector's direction inconsistent with the preference setting

[George Peng]

When I connect two nodes, the connection has a backward arrow by default. Save the preference as "forward connector" and restart FreePlane does not change this behavior.

FreePlane: 1.9.12
JRE: Microsoft OpenJDK 11.0.14

@george-peng Since v1.9.1, connector styles are configured at style nodes in Style Editor. The default connector style is at Default style. This is where the direction needs to be set.

The documentation around this functionality is in progress. Here's what we have so far: https://freeplane.github.io/wiki/#/understanding-nodes?id=connector-styles
Please see also the attached screenshot.

@dpolivaev would it make sense to remove/hide in Preferences window the options related to default connector set now on a style, as it causes some confusion?

@macmarrum Thanks for your explanation. Although I do not understand why my selected theme was configured backward connector as the default style, editing this style does solve my problem.
