Crazy yellow circle

[Kevin Steele]

Hi Howard,

I didn't get the screenshot, but I'll take a guess at what it was.  The 
yellow highlighting is used to indicate that a connection will be made 
to that graphic if you click at the current mouse location. (it uses the 
same highlight color as selection in text editing, so not everyone will 
be seeing yellow).

There are two changes that I'm making right now that should help out.
	1)  You can set the line to not "allow connections" on the Magnet 
Info pane, but it still shows the highlighting as if it was still going 
to make connections.  I'm putting in a fix so that the highlighting will 
only show up if connections are allowed.
	2)  I'm mixing some transparency into the highlight color so that 
it won't completely obscure what's beneath it.

Best Regards,
Kevin Steele
