Seeking an easier way of laying out form elements.
Right now, after creating a form element, one has to spend a lot of time
getting the PositionX, PositionY, Width and Height just right if one wants it
to fit in nicely with the cell - without blocking out parts of its grid (

crammed to the left.
I'm thinking:
- A "Snap to grid" that snaps to the actual cell grid
- A "Spacing to contents" for form elements such as Option Buttons, Check Boxes
etc. so that they don't get too crammed to the left
- "Text padding" for the text inside List Boxes etc. so that they too don't get
too crammed to the left (currently one has to add a leading whitespace to
remedy this: http://i.imgur.com/H7Yye.png)
Like Kevin Grignon said, and I hope he don't mind me quoting him: "Indeed,
smarter defaults would reduce the amount of secondary formatting and form
layout refinements - making for a better experience."
