Description Matthias Wienand CLA 2017-05-26 10:31:49 EDT 
Currently, when hovering/selecting an edge within the Zest Graph Example, the label of the edge is reset to its computed position, i.e. when an edge label position is changed manually, it will not be preserved when hovering or selecting the edge.
Comment 1 Matthias Wienand CLA 2017-05-29 08:43:52 EDT 
The label positions were reset due to a layout pass that was executed when changes to the anchoreds of nodes or edges were recorded. However, feedback and handles are also implemented as anchoreds, thus, they triggered a layout pass. In order to resolve the issue, I added a guard to the layout code, so that a layout pass is not performed if only feedback or handles changed. The code is published on the master branch, therefore, I resolve this ticket as fixed for 5.0.0 RC2.
