Intellij java class diagram, arrows between classes

Question

I use Intellij to generate class diagrams from my Java code. I'm pretty happy with it.

When I click 'Show Dependencies' I get straight arrows being drawn between classes.

I then click 'Apply Current Layout (F5)', everything gets reorganized nicely with arrows no longer straight lines but rather going around classes in a neat way

However every time the diagram redraws itself the arrows go straight again. I need to re-click 'Apply Current Layout (F5)' to make them angle again, which also zooms out of the diagram, which is pretty annoying...

Is there a way to keep the arrows angled after a chart redraw?

I were working on that problem myself. The solution is easy. File->Settings->(search for "diagrams")-> tick the checkbox "Fit content after Layout"

This only saves the Layout of the classdiagramm, the dependencies are still straight and there is no way to change their behaviour.
