David,

Thanks, but this does not prevent the new module to push aside
other modules and by doing so muddling up the by me nicely
arranged connections.

For example: a small open space on the canvas is enough to drop
the large-sized camera, which then will push all other modules
that are in the way aside.
If I haven't saved the previous VPE layout, I then have to do
the tedious job of nicely arrange the modules and connections
once again.

It's may be a small detail, but quite often I'm very angry
when loosing my neat scheme by adding a new module on the VPE.
That "undo" button, giving me the previous lay-out again, is
at that moment a strong wish.

As I said, saving frequently the VPE scheme, is a solution,
but that is (according to me) the old fashioned way of
dealing with the problem.
