Components landing out-of-sight
Here's a small annoyance I hit when creating a tall mockup -- it was really more of a storyboard, showing transitions in the course of a workflow, so it was laid out top-to-bottom with a series of elements.
Newly-added components weren't showing up onscreen. Turns out, Mockups is great about letting the canvas expand as needed, but when you add something while scrolled down the screen -- via quick add or toolbar, it doesn't matter -- the new item is placed at the top of the canvas area, so it's out of view. You have to scroll up, grab the item, drag it down toward where you were, and scroll down again to get your work back in view.
It would be better to have the "landing zone" for added components calculated from the window frame's edge, instead of the top edge of the virtual canvas.
Thanks ...

Inappropriate?Good one Michael. I hadn't thought of that. I should be able to fix it, let me take a look.

Inappropriate?Fixed, both for newly added components via Quick Add and for the position of the floating properly inspector. They will now show up so that you can see them. This was tricky too!

Inappropriate?I understand your problem, but I think the solution thus far is not-optimal. It would, for me, be better if you did a quick add put the newly created object under the mouse position, iff it was on the canvas, and if not put it in the top corner of the currently viewable canvas.
