Dialogue Properties Box

Hey Cryptic folks!
Any chance we could get the dialogue prompt property box to appear in the middle of the screen?
Used to be that it would appear anchored to the left hand edge of the dialogue node. That was ... kind of annoying, but you got used to it.
Then, with Feywild, someone decided to make the change and throw it on the right hand side of the dialogue node. Understandable, because now it doesn't obscure any of the dialogue box that it's purporting to be the properties of.
Problem is, that makes it highly inconvenient to add even 3 or 4 optional responses.
Go ahead, try it. I'll wait...
...
...
... See? You add the 3rd, or maybe the 4th, and suddenly the property box has completely vanished. Then you have to drag the screen sideways, and then click the node again.
And for dialogue nodes that are already wide, it's a true pain in the proverbial. I have a conversation in my first quest that scrolls sideways for the width of around 11 or 12 screens. If I want to edit the first node in that conversation, I have to scroll aaaaallllllll the way over to the right, and then scroll aaaaaalllllll the way back over to the left, if I want to edit the NPC prompt to the first PC response.
So pretty please, it'd be fantastic if the prompt property box simply appeared in the center of the screen, no matter where the left or right sides of the prompt were!
