A VSDX sent to me from another drawing program when opened in Visio and the connector line moved, becomes distorted. Can't move/edit the connector line in Visio.

I am wondering, since not originally authored in Visio, if the VSDX can be fixed in Visio, so that the connector line between the 2 shapes does not distort when it is moved? Am I missing a global setting in the VSDX shapesheet?

The VSDX file is attached.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Very odd behaviour! It's ok when the bottom shape is moved, but goes haywire when either of the top two shapes move.
The connector is actually two connectors, one joining the top two shapes (and it's this one that goes very wrong) and another that joins the centre of this connector to the bottom shape.
Can't see a way to fix the broken connector, but I have repaired your drawing with a suggestion to use a different type of connector - it's the Double-tree Square connector from the Connectors stencil.

Thank you, Paul.

Also not sure why the original doesn't work.

Thank you for the Double Tree connector.

Kind Regards,
