I am really happy with the new tunnel and junction functionality in 2016.1. I have been hiding a lot of lines in my workspaces already. So much tidier!

However, I noticed that when I drag transformers around, they sometimes snap to the hidden lines, which can cause quite an unexpected mess.. :)

As a temporary workaround, I have disabled the "Use Drag-and-Insert Transformers" option, but I really like this functionality. So maybe it's an idea to make hidden lines "unsnappable"?

I would really like this because I use tunnels when working in the situation when lines are crossing the workspace. If I drag around other transfomers, the changes that I 'hit' a hidden line are quiet big. This functionality would therefore be very appreciated!

Agree! I have too many tunnels obviously

Yep, I found this too and filed a report to our developers. It's been reported fixed in 2017 and the fix backported to 2016.1.1 (build 16588 or greater). Not sure when that will be released, but it can't be far away.

I can confirm this is in 2016.1.1 so I am setting this to released.
