Connection without both ends

The check drawing/dangling-connection, in the group Drawing.

Error

Why it matters

A connection that starts or ends on nothing is drawn but connects nothing, so the picture and the process disagree.

How to fix it

Reconnect both ends of the connection to a shape, or delete it.

Where you see it

The Problems tab lists it under Problems, and outlines the element on the canvas. In a terminal, penstock check --only drawing reports it as DANGLING-CONNECTION. Auto layout often fixes it for the whole diagram at once.
