Merlay 0.3.1 — Fix drag-connect hit-testing and subgraph inner-node priority

Mermaid, your way. A native visual overlay editor for Mermaid diagrams in Obsidian.

Fixes & Improvements

  • Drag-to-Connect Hit Testing:
    • Fixed an issue where drag-connect stopped creating edges between nodes inside subgraphs or across different subgraphs.
    • Bypassed pointer capture on mouse pointers to preserve natural DOM event routing and visual hit-testing.
    • Used document.elementFromPoint to accurately detect the visual target under the cursor or finger during connection dragging.
  • Subgraph Inner-Node Priority:
    • Prioritized inner nodes over enclosing subgraph containers within the 50px snap radius so container clusters never steal drops or hover halos from child nodes.
    • Restored edge drop hit-testing to cleanly split flows when intermediate nodes are dropped onto connection lines.
    • Fixed overlay container pointer interception by setting pointer-events: none on .mermaid-native-overlay.

Install

BRAT (beta): add https://github.com/dev-hashemi/merlay in BRAT → Add Beta plugin.
