2.9.0-dp-5

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

In just starting up a new stack, dragging any object over from the  
tool's palette, normally I would expect that I can option/drag an  
object to create another one just like it; and that works, but I would  
also expect that I could option/shift/drag an object and create  
another one just like it and in alignment with the original - either  
vertically or horizontally, depending on how I drag it. Constrained I  
believe is the word. This DOESN'T WORK.

Also, if you drag a default button over to the stack/card or whatever,  
you should not be able to drag another one to that same stack/card; or  
even option drag it to create another one.

There must be a reason from Rev having done this, but I can't imagine  
what it is. Please excuse my ignorance. This topic must have been  
discused many times in the past. Just wondering. This constraint  
feature was one of my favorites in HC.

TIA,

Joe Wilkins
