Leave the output wire on merge functions at the top of the icon.

Status: Duplicate

The merge errors function that came out with 2011 is a great convenience, but it would be nice if the output wire just stayed at the top of the block when you resize. As it is now, each time you add an input the output wire moves around and mess with the downstream wiring. The same is true for clusters and other functions that resize automatically, only these tinker with the upstream wiring. This is a minor inconvenience, but it would save some clean up time and improve the style of the wiring.

 

The attached picture obviously doesn't make sense from a programming perspective, but hopefully you can see the point.

Same also for "build array", "concatenate strings", and probably many more. 😄

 

(I was working on a related idea that tries to solve this problem in a different way, stay tuned)
