Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

Click on device "generic 24 port patch panel"
Click on Front ports
Click on "Add cable" "Front Port."
For B side device, select same patch panel.
Select any other open Front Port.
Click Save.
Click "Trace Cable" button on either port.

Expected Behavior

I should see a box labeled "patch panel 1" above a thinner box labeled "Front Port 5". There should be a line going down to another thinner box labeled "Front port 10" above a thicker box labeled "patch panel 1".

This is a picture with 2 different patch panels:

Observed Behavior

This is what I get when both ends are the same patch panel:
