There was an update a while ago that moved node wires out of the way of status text - it's a great update, but it doesn't move for all status. In the image below you can see three rows of three nodes...
You can see the the wires "move out of the way" of the status text for the first and last nodes, but not the middle one.
I am not sure if it's a bug, or an edge case that I should ignore.
