I dunno, I almost never position stuff by moving it around
with the mouse; I use the xyz input boxes, occasioanlly
fudging around when moray's precision runs out.  But as
far as I can tell, it is quite easy to accurately specify
end points for objects, or at least the centre of the
object and figure out everything else using calculator.
