Of cause you need to move them away. After Ctrl+V the pair is still marked and can be quickly moved away.

You can enable the option "snap to object point" and drag them together. And that might not even be possible, since the shape > properties limits the accuracy of coordinate entry.

The effort is 1 minute. If others agree with you that it is a desirable feature, it is an enhancement request not a bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
