When new controls are pasted on a form it would be great if the new control were positioned such that it did not overlap controls that are already placed on the form.
You can take control somewhat of the placement of the pasted control by initiating the paste via the right-click popup menu. What I mean is, select the control to be copied, right-click on the form where you want it to be pasted and then select Paste from the popup menu.
Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try.
I usually mark the control that I want in the toolbox with a left click, then I click left on the form where I want the control to be and draw it. Then I have it right where I want it. Or did I misunderstand something.

My question was in reference to selecting a control on a form to copy and paste. I often create control arrays to simplify the processing of the controls. When I would paste a control, FF would often place it on the form in a spot where it overlapped an existing control. This can make it difficult to click and drag to the right spot. It would prefer that the control be paste on a spot of the form where there are no other controls. I can then click and drag it to the right location. The tip to right click and paste sounds like a good solution for me.
Ok, Dick, now I got you right.
