Description

I noticed above assertion raised upon layout calculation when a node has empty label text (not null but empty string).
Could you pIease help me deciphering the message and point out some possible logical connection between this error and the empty label text ?

Research direction

Start with the attached stack trace and the layout calculation path triggered by a node whose label is an empty string. Trace where the “Unpadded polyline is not clockwise” assertion is raised and determine whether empty labels reliably reproduce it; done means the connection is explained and the appropriate behavior is identified.
