Description:
On ER-Diagram when using Tables with expanded=0 the relationship is lieing on edge of the two related tables in a diagonal orientation.
The same happens when the table has expanded=1 and the docking-point of the relation comes to the area of indexes and triggers.

How to repeat:
Draw two tables with an relation in an ER-Diagram.
Set on both tables expand=0.
Put one in the middle, and the second left/above (or left/under or right/above or right/under)
Now You see the unattractive relation.

Suggested fix:
- lets Dock the relation on the sides also when expand=0
- lets make the expand more flexible e.g. only some fields, with or without indexes/triggers

Thank you for the bug report.

improved in 5.0.14
now relation-lines get drawn from and to the corresponding columns when expanded and the symbols also stay straight when collapsed (theres still some optimization to do in case of multiple lines)
Expand-flag is editable in multi-select mode now.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant products.
Added to the changelog.
