There is something wrong with your cleanup settings.  The For loop grew(should have shrunk and the i term is wrongly placed), wires are on top of each other and the int wires cross twice.  Tell me that was not a Ctrl+U result

It was a click on the cleanup button in the toolbar, nothing else. I won't spend time manually cleanup anything like that. 😄

Also, since I don't use cleanup for my own code, all settings are at their default. 😮

But yes, I agree it did not do a great job... and clicking cleanup a second time makes it even worse.....

... and look what cleanup (LV 2018) does to his client code:

Strangely, if I do a ctrl+a , ctrl+c and copy it into notepad, things no longer overlap in the pasted image, so go figure. 😮 Also, a second cleanup push fixes the overlap.

The code MUST have autogrow off on some structures

[altenbach]

Autogrow on the while loop is enabled.

I always maintain that if the cleanup tool makes your block diagram look BETTER, you should really revisit your coding practices.

I know this isn't really the place for serious questions, but does Autogrow affect the behaviour of the auto-cleanup? And if so, how? (Why?!) (Assuming that either nothing is selected, or the entire diagram, etc)

[parthabe]

Actually, it is the other way around!

BD Cleanup affects almost everything (except, maybe, comments)!

If you have any structure with Autogrow enabled, BD Cleanup would still reduce the size of this structure if it it unnecessarily/unusually big/large.

And (I presume) structures that have "Exclude from Diagram Cleanup?" turned on...

I have seen a difference with that one 🙂 

[parthabe]

That's obvious!
