Null reference exception during diagram layout

I have a diagram with several nodes all at the same position (not properly laid out, the user is supposed to move them). And two of the nodes have a connection between them. I get an exception as soon as the window with the diagram is shown.


Value cannot be null. Parameter name: source

There is no exception if the nodes are not at the same position or if there is no connection between them. Any suggestions how to prevent this apart from forcing some kind of layout?

I resolved this by not setting a layout manager. 😐

Hi, we've moved on from this issue, can't provide the node data right now. We will revisit this if we encounter it again in the future.
