[jira] [Comment Edited] (NIFI-3099) Labels should have the option
to 'stick' to the workflow surface.

Hi Joseph,
My motivation is the accidental movement of large labels which sometimes cover the visible surface at high zoom level. It is a bit of a pain having to rearrange. Now that you mention it, it would also be good to be able to stick down any object on the surface, but then we should also have at the group level the ability to unstick-all or stick-all. Some additional functionality similar to that of Visio (aaaarggghh MS!) would also be helpful. I have at times used one label on top of another and then found that I cannot move one behind the other easily. I also spend a bit of time lining things up - again, in Visio, there are alignment buttons to make this easy.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
Cheers,
Olav

> Labels are very useful for making the flow more understandable. They are often used to visually group together a number of processors. However, large labels slide around when clicking and dragging, when the intention was to drag the entire surface. I suggest that labels on the surface have a right-click menu option to stick to the surface so that clicking and dragging moves the entire surface rather than the label. (We probably need an 'unstick' option as well.)
