Hi everyone and thanks for reading my post.



In a TikZ drawing, I have two boxes defined one above the other with node[draw] type command. I also added boxed labels above each. The problem is that when drawing an arrow between the two boxes, only the coordinates of the basic box is considered, so the arrow croses the labels instead of stopping just before it.



I understand why TikZ does that, but how could I fix it? I tried to point to a (A2.label) node but it appears that it does not exist...



Below is my minimum working example and what it gives for now. Thank you for your help!



documentclass[10pt]{standalone}
usepackage[english]{babel}

usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{positioning}

begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}

% BOX 1
node[draw,text width=7cm,
label={[text width=7cm,fill=black!10,draw,minimum height=12pt]{bfseries box 1}}
] (A1) at (0,0) {
some text for box 1
} ;

% BOX 2
node[draw,text width=5cm,
label={[text width=5cm,fill=black!10,draw,minimum height=12pt]{bfseries box 2}}
] (A2) [below of=A1,yshift=-4cm] {
some other text for box 2
} ;

% ARROW
draw[->,>=latex] (A1) -- node[right] {test} (A2) ;


end{tikzpicture}
end{document}


result with colliding arrow
