------------------------------------
Hi Joseph,
My motivation is the accidental movement of large labels which sometimes cover
the visible surface at high zoom level. It is a bit of a pain having to
rearrange. Now that you mention it, it would also be good to be able to stick
down any object on the surface, but then we should also have at the group level
the ability to unstick-all or stick-all. Some additional functionality similar
to that of Visio (aaaarggghh MS!) would also be helpful. I have at times used
one label on top of another and then found that I cannot move one behind the
other easily. I also spend a bit of time lining things up - again, in Visio,
there are alignment buttons to make this easy.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
Cheers,
Olav

> Labels are very useful for making the flow more understandable. They are
> often used to visually group together a number of processors. However, large
> labels slide around when clicking and dragging, when the intention was to
> drag the entire surface. I suggest that labels on the surface have a
> right-click menu option to stick to the surface so that clicking and dragging
> moves the entire surface rather than the label. (We probably need an
> 'unstick' option as well.)
