How can I remove a stuck horizontal connector in n8n's workflow designer?

I'm encountering an issue in n8n where a connector between nodes becomes horizontal and cannot be removed.
Here's a video demonstrating the problem:

This doesn't seem to be a workflow or node configuration issue. For context, here are some details about my setup:
- n8n version: 1.76.1 (noticed in earlier releases as well)
- Database: PostgreSQL 15 (default is SQLite)
- n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting: Default
- Running n8n via: Docker on DO
- Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
If anyone has experienced this or has troubleshooting steps, please share your insights. If this is a bug, guidance on reporting it would be appreciated.

It sounds like you’re running into a UI bug where a horizontal connector can’t be removed. While this isn’t a documented behavior for workflow issues (and it isn’t related to node connectivity or parameter processing as described in our docs), here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
-
Browser Cache & Refresh:
Sometimes stale CSS or JavaScript can cause UI glitches. Try clearing your browser cache or opening the workflow in an incognito/private window to see if the issue persists. -
Different Browser:
Check whether the problem occurs in another browser. This can help determine if it’s browser-specific. -
Zoom & Screen Resolution:
Occasionally, zoom settings or screen resolution may affect UI elements. Adjusting these settings might allow you to remove the connector. -
n8n Version:
Even though you noted this has been seen in previous releases, it’s always worth testing on the latest version (if possible) since many UI improvements are continuously made.
If none of these steps help, I recommend opening an issue on the n8n GitHub repository with a detailed description and steps to reproduce the behavior (including your video as reference). The community and maintainers can then investigate and work towards a fix.
Let me know if you need more guidance on troubleshooting or reporting the issue!
