When I click on a composite state inner region, the graphical editor automatically scroll the view (I suppose to try something like a "zoom to fit". It's very annoying as it moves the item on which I have the "mind" focus that I have to search after the scroll.

I would expect the view to stay on its current position.

It's an edition performance issue, as it doesn't prevent to reach the user goal.

Not sure if we should change this. Maybe your expectation here is not the same as other users would expect. @svenjawendler what do you think? If we add an option to the diagram preferences, what should be the default?

The user only clicks on a region and suddenly the whole diagram moves. For my point of view and also of other users I talked to (it also came up in the surveys) this is not conformous to the user expectation which is a requirement for ergonomic user interfaces (ISO 9041 110).

My suggestion:

  1. Change the default behavior to not moving the diagram if the user did not explicitly forced it.
  2. If there does not exist a requirement for 'readjusting' the view, I would suggest not to do it.
