Bug - Node Editor Rearranging

Bug - Node Editor Rearranging

Hi, this has been an issue in Maya for years, and it is extremely frustrating when dealing with organized node graphs. Pin all nodes by default is a frustrating work around and often riggers forget to enable it, or some nodes don't get pinned before enabling the option. 

 

This most often happens when a new node is created when you connect 2 attributes. Like when a unit conversion node is made.

Unfortunately, except for the development team, we all think that node editor is almost unusable. The discussion on node editor has been going on for five years. No change.

This is literally the most frustrating thing about the Node Editor, and at one time, I feel like there was a switch to stop all of the jumping around... but now it's gone!

WHO thinks that's a good idea??

I'm a professor and have to demo Maya all the time, and nothing is worse than making a connection on a spine, only to have the entire graph rearrange!

There are forums and conversations about this everywhere dating back to 2018.

Shouldn't someone at Autodesk care?
