Hello! Was I dreaming a long time ago, or is there indeed a way to move the marker text box in a non -"snap into place way"? I seem to recall being able to turn that off, and being able to move the text box around more fluidly, thereby giving me more control over where it lands...thanks!
As Matthew mentioned you can't move it "freely" but you should be able to rotate it around the marker itself, and it'll go to specific locations (think of it like positions on a clock). There currently isn't a way to change that set up, so a feature request is the way to go! Although you could replicate the pulse/swirl set up of a marker easily, you could use your own custom/built in shape and then set up triggers when hovered or clicked to show a new text box in the position you desire. It's a bit more steps than just inserting a standard marker - but if you really need it in a particular location that may server you better.

Thanks Matthew! Unfortunately, doing that doesn't seem to affect the marker box movements...they're still snapping into place...:(
No apology necessary! Your suggestion to submit a feature request is actually helpful; I'll do that next :)

Best of luck with the rest of your project!
