I am working on a very tight diagram and the connectors keep on snapping to the center of boxes and circles when I want them to connect somewhere else. There seems to be a threshold where if you are close enough to the center, it automatically snaps to it.
Problem is, my shapes are small and crowded and sometimes overlapping each other. This snapping-to-center is annoying for drawing very detailed diagrams and there seems to be no way to disable this.
I checked all the snap settings but it does not include this.

Firstly, with very tight shapes, the way to deal with this is to zoom in to the diagram. Use the zoom control in the bottom right (see pic below), or use press CTRL and scroll the wheel up (zoom in) or down (zoom out).
Zoom Control
To disable the snap effect, disable one or both Snap and Glue. This configuration is available from the View tab: click the the pop-out icon, then disable one or both Snap and Glue is the resulting dialog:
