What does it mean when a node has double-lined edges as in the HD Renderer below?

It means that the node is within a group area and 'should' be combined with that group.

I personally don't like it. What if I'm trying connections out? The behavior assumes I'm doing something right all the time. It's an animated 'paper clip' for me.

"A new method of grouping nodes has been added to the network view. You can now drag and drop nodes on a group to add the nodes to that group. Conversely you can drag nodes out of a group to ungroup them. Groups show drop target feedback when you drag nodes over them to show that the dragged nodes will be made part of that group if the nodes are dropped on it.

When a node is over a group it's not grouped by it's drawn with a white border. The intention is to clarify when nodes are part of groups."

Hetzen, for me it is more a basic way of showing that you "can" rather then "should" combine it.

That's fair enough, but the background work space box kind of tells me that already. The outlines interfere with visibility of connections at certain zoom levels. No biggy. I delete the group box if its pissing me off. :)

I never pay attention to it either, though sometimes I should as lately I saved a clipfile, by saving a group, but not all nodes were 'caught', so I lost half the ingredients (and deleted the whole file afterwards, so I had to build from scratch  >:( ).
Some peculiar thing I had lately, speaking of lines, that there were two (2) lines into an input  :o
