Description Troy Beecroft CLA 2011-04-28 14:21:05 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

When you drag a node from the palette and drop it on the canvas the node is positioned with the upper left corner at the drop spot. I keep finding myself surprised by this, expecting the node to be centered at the drop coordinates.

Centering on the drop coordinates seems like a much closer approximation to what happens when you subsequently move nodes around on the canvas. So it feels like inconsistent behavior when it isn't centered on the initial drop.

Reproducible: Always

The node is centered on the drop coordinate now.
