OK two other things

1) (minor) I find myself repeatdly trying to extend a Shape size to display 
more instance variables and methods by looking for the resize handle in the 
bottom right corner

2) when I want to edit a method, the shape takes the full screen and I can't 
see any other data. Why can't I edit the method in-place


Also, I find it quickly annoying when I have to place manually each shape 
created. It would be better if shapes tend to stick to their parent shape when 
created, and I can move them freely after (I think that one point where 
codebubbles is good). I actually have more ideas about that, but it's tedious 
to explain by plain mail.
