task graph highlighting upstream / downstream

when you hover over a task, is it supposed to highlight the tasks that are
upstream / downstream?

i feel like i have seen it do this in certain circumstances but generally i
cannot reproduce

(using 1.10.7)

when you have a dag with many task interdependencies, it would really help,
because sometimes the lines cross under your dag and it's tough to tell
whether it's just passing by incidentally and whether it's actually an
upstream / downstream relationship.

anyone have any insight or possibly suggestions re adding this
functionality?

Yup this is precisely it -- thanks a bunch :)

Hi Daniel,

There was a bug that made the javascript graph fail to retrieve nodes whose
task_ids contained a dot.
Looks like it was fixed in version 1.10.8:
