reproducible with 070622 ConnectionWidget: getSourceAnchorShapeRotation has private access when getTargetAnchorShapeRotation has public got it on attempt to define own connection widget.
This issue depends on issue #106472 where more ConnectionWidget related API restriction are introduced. For need of creating customized ConnectionWidget e.g. CurveConnectionWidget, it is required to have "protected final" modifiers for these methods.
after some discussion it has been agreed both getSourceAnchorShapeRotation and getTargetAnchorShapeRotation should be protected in order to help with creation of custom connection widgets
Agree. We just have to create a patch to fast API review.
