Description Matthias Wienand CLA 2014-06-27 06:18:12 EDT 
The anchor mechanism provided by the GEF4 FX component does not support anchoring the same node multiple times on one anchorage, because only one anchor position per anchored is computed.

In the case of a connection with start and end point, if you want to anchor both points on the same anchorage, the corresponding anchor will infinitely compute their positions as changing one position will override the other and therefore trigger a recomputation.
Comment 1 Matthias Wienand CLA 2014-06-30 11:33:56 EDT 
Extended the anchor mechanism to allow multiple positions for the same anchored Node. The changes are pushed to the master branch. Resolving as fixed.
