setAnnotations() does not remove existing connections

[reckart]

With the connections plugin installed, calling

      this.recogito.setAnnotations(webAnnotations)

Does not cause existing connections to be removed - e.g. such from a previous call to recogito.setAnnotations(...).

The problem can be worked around using

      for (const connection of this.connections.canvas.connections) {
        connection.remove()
      }
      this.connections.canvas.connections = []
      this.recogito.setAnnotations(webAnnotations)

But tbh, I would expect that recogito.setAnnotations() and recogito.clearAnnotations() would both propagate to the connections plugin and clean up there as well.

Yikes - indeed. Set annotations doesn't currently clear the canvas in the connections plugin:

And clearAnnotations isn't currently intercepted by the connections plugin:

Thanks for reporting!
