On 12/8/2010 I got a similar unexpected behavior using only the GUI. I made a diagram with a bunch of connectors connecting a bunch of boxes, copied the whole thing to another part of the diagram, and when I did any kind of move on the connectors, they sank an inch or two each time I tried to manipulate them. I'd changed one of the connectors to 3pt and arrow mend2. It was aggravating to say the least, because nobody wants to recreate and define connectors each time when they should just be able to copy them and then move them around by their end points.

I then created a brand new drawing, tried to recreate the problem, and could not recreate it. Now that I have one drawing that reproduces the problem and another that doesn't, I'm going to look at the SVG, exploit the differences, and find the causative factor. If/when I figure it out I'll report back. Meanwhile, if anyone has any new information, please let me know.

Thanks
