Error description

• When you have a link between two entities with a corner added
  to the link to bend the link, and the group of objects is
  hidden, if you select an area of the chart which includes the
  objects which are hidden, then the corner of the link also
  becomes selected and is not ignored when hidden.  Thus when the
  group selection is moved, the hidden corner is also moved.
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Add two entities to the chart (Person1, Car1).  Select
  Insert Links -> "Link" to add a link between them.
  2. Add two more entities to the chart (Person2, Car2).  Select
  Insert Links -> "Link" to add a link between them.
  3. Select Insert Links -> "Corner", click on the link line
  between Person1 and Car1.  You can select the corner and pull
  it out to create a link line with a corner.
  4. Use the selection pointer to draw a box around the
  Person1/Car1 group with the link with the cornder.
  5. From the View menu, select Show and Hide Items -> "Hide
  Selected".  The group with Person1 / Car1 / Link with corner is
  hidden and cannot be seen.
  6. Now Use the selection pointer to draw a box around the area
  of the chart that includes the visible Person2/Car2 group, and
  the area where the hidden group is also located.
  7. Move the Person2/Car2 group to another area of the chart.
  8. From the View menu, select Show and Hide Items -> "Show All".
  You can see that the corner of the link was moved along with
  the visible group.  The Person1 and Car1 entities were left
  where they were located when hidden.  The link corner should
  not have been moved when it was hidden.
