Drag/Drop feature in Android is really snappy

I am having trouble using android studio's drag and drop feature. I have no problem getting the items onto the preview mode of the android phone, but when I want to move the palettes, I can't seem to be able to place them where I want. A lot of times I will place let's say a TextView, and it will snap to a different location an inch away. Anyone know if any solutions?

Unless you know a way to un-snappy the editor, it's time to get to know the XML Text Editor, next tab over in Android Studio.

The way I get round the snappy side is in there: use the "android:layout_below="@+id/example" and it's brethren. Unless you have a massive amount of elements, this is very doable.
