Select the Float Button checkbox to detach the selected shape in the diagram and move it freely around the editing canvas. Once Float Button is activated (downward triangle), any existing connectors attached to the shape you move will become hidden. This is likely to prevent cluttering the canvas while repositioning the shape. Also, the connector(s) disappear because it's no longer needed when the shape is floating.
