Description
Connection and Table representations seem to live in different coordinate systems — this makes the "download image" function unusable.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install pgAdmin4 9.16 (I've got a docker installation).
- Load my attached pgerd file.
- Download the image.
- Enjoy a look at it ;-)
Expected behavior
The downloaded image should have a coherent appearance like the display on the screen.
downloaded image
source pgerd file
I had to rename this file for github to accept it.

Research direction
Start by loading the attached schema-dj-20260622.pgerd.json file in pgAdmin's ERD tool and compare the on-screen diagram with its downloaded image. Trace the export path from the ERD display and verify the fix by reproducing the export; done means the downloaded image has the same coherent layout as the screen.
