Freemind - how to move just one node

Hello,
I am currently using Free mind to clarify my ideas for a project.
The software works well, but there is one thing I can't seem to do. It's moving a node without the others moving.
Let me explain, I have a central bubble with child nodes to categorize my ideas. When I create a new node, the software places it at the bottom of my page.
If the node were placed right below the one above, that would be fine, but it places it 2 km lower. And when I click on the small circle that appears when I hover the mouse over it and I move it up, the software also moves the other nodes. As a result, I can't align all my nodes on my page.
Do you have a solution?
Thank you.

Hello everyone,
Freeplane 1.3.11, the big brother, seems more robust to me.
To insert a child node, nothing could be simpler: just press the "INSERT" key.
To move the nodes, I prefer using "Ctrl + arrow key" left, right, up, down... everything is well managed that way.
If you want to highlight a node, use the concept of "free node" as explained above, which you can move with the mouse wherever you like...
Good job!

Hi,
I have the same problem, when I move a node, the others also move. I don't see what I could have done to cause this link between the two nodes.
If someone could help us, that would be great. Because right now, to have a well-organized map (which is kind of the purpose of the software, to be well organized!), it's a failure!
Thanks in advance.

I can't find this edit menu, can't figure out how to create a free node.
Thank you in advance
I'm currently testing Freeplane, it has node movement options, but it's not exactly intuitive, you have to dig through the menus,
for now, I prefer a good sheet of paper...
Personally, if I were a designer, I would have made double click = create new node.
But no, apparently they didn't think of that.
I found something simple: Coggle (from Google).
It's more intuitive already, still no double click to create a node, but a more obvious button. You can drag and drop the nodes as you would imagine.
After that, I think I still prefer the sheet of paper.
