Can’t get a straight line connector in Visio

microsoft-visiomicrosoft-visio-2010

When I try to draw a connection between the two points highlighted in the pink circles, Visio gives me the stupid right-angled line as shown. Why is it doing this? I just want a straight line between the two points!

I have tried turning off all the settings in the Snap & Glue dialog. Dynamic Grid, AutoConnect, AutoSize are all off. Changing the line to "Straight Connector" does nothing. Is there some other "clever" feature I should turn off?

I could use the line tool rather than the connector tool but this wouldn't help when I did need a bend in my line, because I still get the problem of not being able to get the start and end points to be where I want them.

The line is apparently connected, although it doesn't move when box2 is moved:
