Path diagram in CFA

Hello!

I'm running a CFA and i want to create a path diagram. I have 8 factors and 35 items, where some have covariances that i want represented.

While they are represented if i covariate item 7 and 18, they do not show on the path if i covariate item 7 and 8 or 7 and 6. Could this be a bug? Or does jamovi automatically hide these to make the diagram less clutered as the items are so close or something else entirely?

Thanks in advance!

I think that probably the path between 7 and 8 is missing because the items overlap and therefore occlude the path that is drawn between them. I expect that if it were possible to increase the height of the plot (which is not possible in jamovi at the moment), the path between 7 and 8 would show up again.

Thank you for your answer! I assumed so.

Since i'm in this topic, can I also ask if you have plans to add an option that would allow users to select if they want to omit or not the factor loadings?
Thanks again!
