Block diagram Clean Up Tool improvement - loop conditional terminal

Status: New

I'd like to suggest that the clean up tool behave the same for loop iteration and conditional terminals as it does for other block diagram objects.  I frequently end up with a little jog between an item and the conditional terminal.  I like that there is an attempt to move the terminals to their corresponding default corners, but they ought to have the same spacing from the loop frame as they do by default.

I have the same opinion. If I try to clean up some more complex diagrams,which, let's say, has 5++ structures and a lot of wires (Spaghetti code before i decide to select parts to create subVI-s) then Clean Up Tool is drunk, and it puts stuff and even structures on top of each other. If i press it 3 or more times, it may produce a cleaner picture. 

 

LV 2012 (not SP1) and both 32 and 64 bits versions do this.

With the upgrade to 2013 I think I'm starting to understand this.  When I cleanup I get this:

Which doesn't make any sense unless the conditional terminal had a label:

Now the local variable is roughly even with the midpoint of the terminal/label combination.  Would this be as simple to fix as hiding the [invisible] label for the conditional terminal?
