Lucid chart would be so much better if connected lines stayed independent of the line being altered through the use of a key stroke. It's great to connect lines but if you want to resize one of them (or a shape they are connected to) generally one doesn't want the whole assembly to move with it! Surely there must be a way perhaps through a combination of keys to make an alteration to one component (line or shape) without the whole assembly it is connected to becoming dragged out of shape?
