Confusing graph representation

Hi,

just though to share something I found a bit confusing initially in how graph is rendered, see image below. It is one of those early learning things that when you know it is obvious. React/TypeScript project.

The ellipsis-looking shape indicates that component second from the right depends on the highlighted component and highlighted component depends on the rightmost component. But the way the lines perfectly overlap made me think that this is some sort of circular dependency, which it is not.

Hi Sam,

It looks like the second item on the right (highlighted in green) is using your selected item, can you please confirm.

We will review and look at what we can do to improve.

Thanks for highlighting!

Best regards,
Paul

Hi, thanks, you are absolutely right, I explained it in a confusing way.

Maybe this makes it clearer.

Component 1 uses component 3 (and something off-screen)
Component 2 uses 1 and 3 (and others, but not shown when not selected)
Component 3 uses nothing and has many incoming.

I have great first impression on the feature and I hope my feedback is of any use. No intention to nitpick nor complain.

Thanks Sam, for taking the time to clarify, it’s not nitpicking, it’s very helpful feedback. We appreciate it, and will look to improve it!
