It's funny that you mention that, I fixed the bug where the wrong pieces are selected when you drag a new piece from the list yesterday (I noticed it right after you sent your previous message). The intention was always to select the new piece when you add it but something was causing the wrong pieces to be selected.
Please let me know if you still miss the old move after insert after trying the next version.
