Bug Description

When diagram's text boxes (groups of shape and text) are moved around same very annoying things are happening:
* sometimes the connectors overlap the text boxes;
* some connectors mystically vanishes partly or whole.

(see attached image)

The original SVG file will follow.

To reproduced:
* open the diagram.svg file;
* try to move around the text box "Choice".

Quick workaround: convert the rotated rectangle inside the group with the label 'Choice' to a path (Shift+Ctrl+C), and nudge it with the arrow keys (up and down again) to convert the preserved transform to optimized path data.

(Known issue when connecting groups which contain objects with preserved transforms, will provide link to earlier bug report later)
