I think I need to provide screenshots (or at least mockups) rather than
trying to convey it via ASCII :) I'll try to create something to better
describe my intention, as I think something might be getting lost. It
sounds like Stephen knew what I had in mind as his description matches
what I was meaning to convey.

Rough ASCII until I can make something better (* = room, --- = exit
line)

*-----*     (two rooms connected east-west)   This looks fine.

 If I move the rooms, this is how it will look today. I didn't change the exits, but _visually_
 it looks like the exits are north-south. 
*

|

Ideally, this is what it should look like. It is still clear that the
exits are east-west, despite the user having dragged the rooms around.
No need for custom exits, because the rooms really are east-west!

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.
