I disagree that rooms that are joined east to west are illogical. Custom
exits are not the answer here, because there is nothing custom about it.
The fact that the user chooses to drag them into a different configuration
on the screen should not affect the apparent entry/exit point of the exit
line extending from the room.

Title:
  Exit lines don't 'anchor' to exit direction

Status in Mudlet the MUD client:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Mudlet 2.1, Win7 x64

  Visual issue in the mapper:

  Consider two rooms connected east-west. If I move the room to the east
  'below' the room to the west, I would expect the connection between
  them to visually be a 'Z' shape, where it is obvious that the exits
  still extend from the east and west respectively.

  Instead, the lines originate from the center of a room. So if I move
  the east-west pair as above, the exit line will visually appear as if
  it extends from the south/north.

  The exit lines should potentially be drawn between the ends of the
  'exit stubs', rather from the center of a room. In the example above,
  this would give the expected 'Z' shape.
