Timed Loop and Diagram Grid don't play well together

[Bob Y.]

In LabVIEW 8.0, if you have the diagram grid turned on and have Enable Diagram Grid Alignment selected there are some problems with the timed structures.

The timed loop can be created, but none of the parameters can be wired. It breaks the VI (not the connecting wire). In confirming this, Ed Dickens found that it is also the case with the timed sequence. If a parameter is wired when the grid alignment is off, it works fine and can be used with the grid alignment.

So, the work-around is to just disable the diagram grid alignment when you wire one up.
