I just read the patch notes for 11.15. Is there a specific rationale behind the reason Roboport connections are removed when you mouse over a GUI element, rather than the alternative? I know I would LOVE the Roboport lines to be gone when I'm trying to deconstruct things around my Central Storage.

The Roboport information overlay(lines+construction area+logistic area) is shown so you know how and where your deconstruction robots can reach.
Hiding it when mousing over the gui is manly there for consistency, because that's how the blueprint behaves.

And yes, seeing under the lines while deconstructing is a problem we are aware of and will be fixed(by using triangulation or something else).
