Worklfow diagram doesn't match with workflow inside of the workflow designer. I've tried to adjust the layout several times by now and it still doesn't show the correct saved layout. Even deleting every step and recreate the whole workflow again doesn't work.

[JRASERVER-26586] Workflow diagram doesn't match with workflow inside designer
Chad Barnes
added a comment - This is a constant source of frustration. Trying to put JIRA into an established enterprise with lots of old, mature tools – problems like this perpetuate the belief that JIRA is not mature and not ready for enterprise. It doesn't matter how well the workflow functions... when a user sees crisscrossed lines and misplaced transition labels it leaves them with a very bad first impression.

added a comment - I can imagine that still taking deleted elements into account could cause some weird effects, but from the symptoms I'm seeing, it's not obvious that that's the only thing that's going on. Do you have any way of finding out for sure?

added a comment - Believe that the cause is that when you delete a transition it is logically deleted and the workflow designer knows this, however the workflow viewer may not exclude all logically deleted elements from its retrieval

added a comment - Please fix this - it's been driving me up the wall! I've created an account here purely so that I can vote for this issue!
The particular problems I see are:
- Transition line endpoints move from where I put them to the centre of the state box. (Starts and ends.)
- Transition labels move, downwards, by approximately the height of the label.
This is all within the workflow designer: position things as desired, save the layout, then re-visit the same page (click in URL bar and press enter). Result: things move about. Using the Load Saved Layout button puts the labels back where I put them, but doesn't restore the transition endpoints to the right place.
Not every transition line is affected, nor is every transition label. Nor is it always the same transition where line and label are both affected.

I have more or less the same as mentioned in this issue, but even more so what happens in the workflow of this particular issue!! If you click the "view workflow" option next to the Status option, you'll see that it's a complete mess... I'm sure the developer who created this workflow didn't do this... home there's some help soon.

Hi All,
I'm resolving this issue as a duplicate of JRA-25548. Please add your votes and comments to that issue going forward.
