Why is it so difficult to move tables around in the Visual Query Builder????

Why is it so difficult to move tables around the visual query builder.  I have to point and click and grab over and over to get everything where I can see it.  Is there some trick to this?  It's maddening? Thanks in advance,

@FreeRangeDingo  I am not experiencing any issue moving tables around in the Visual Query Builder. How many tables have you dragged to the Visual Query Builder canvas? How exactly are you moving the tables around? Can you demonstrate it with a video? then I will try to reproduce the issue.

Is happens with any number of tables, even two.  I click on the table name/header and try to click/hold/drag to move it, and they won't move.  I repeat the action over and over again until they finally move.

I am not able to reproduce the issue. What Alteryx version do you have?

@FreeRangeDingo Can you try to make the "SQL Editor" the default view when when the VQB is opened to see if you can move the tables around faster? Review this post: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Is-there-a-trick-to-making-the-Visual-...

I think that works.  Thank you!
