I had a look at this problem, and all I can say until now is: Thats true.
However for me it is possible to place the new part using the enter position
and rotation dialog, also it is possible to move the part in the view using
the mouse (If you cannot it's possible because of the small scale and that
the rotation point is made visible - in this case you properly just move the
rotation point and not the part - just disable the checkbox in the rotation
point dialog for viewing the rotation point and you should be able to move it.
In the mean time I will have a look what happens that the programm places
the part on the wrong position.
