On Gibson functions with connected graphs

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is said to be a {\it weakly Gibson function} if $f(\overline{G})\subseteq \overline{f(G)}$ for any open connected set \mbox{$G\subseteq X$}. We call a function $f:X\to Y$ {\it segmentary connected} if $X$ is topological vector space and $f([a,b])$ is connected for every segment $[a,b]\subseteq X$. We show that if $X$ is a hereditarily Baire space, $Y$ is a metric space, \mbox{$f:X\to Y$} is a Baire-one function and one of the following conditions holds: (i) $X$ is a connected and locally connected space and $f$ is a weakly Gibson function, (ii) $X$ is an arcwise connected space and $f$ is a Darboux function, (iii) $X$ is a topological vector space and $f$ is a segmentary connected function, then $f$ has a connected graph.
