Description Matthias Wienand

Currently, EdgePart#bendContent() queries attributes of the part's Connection visual in order to apply them to its content element. However, changing the content element results in a #refreshVisual() call that applies the attributes of the content element to the Connection visual. Therefore, some values that are queried from the Connection visual within #bendContent() are overwritten by #refreshVisual() before they are queried.

This is the reason for incorrect anchor hints in some situations. It can be fixed by disabling refreshing of visuals at the start of #bendContent() and restoring it at the end.

I extended the code so that is-refresh-visual is set to false at the start of #bendContent() and its original value is restored at the end of #bendContent(). The code is published on the R4_0_maintenance and master branches. Therefore, I resolve this ticket as fixed for 4.1.0 M1.
