I wonder if the message connection problem is due to a fairly recent
change in how the message connections are displayed? We changed it
from a solid to a dashed line to make it easier to identify the
different types of connections.  Hopefully, once the connections are
remade using the new code, it'll stay that way. I'll try to fix things
up on my end and push the changes.

Sebastian, do you have any comments on this?
