Describe the bug
I've been using ZM + zmNinja for a few years. I started with 5 cameras, and upgraded again this weekend and is running 20 now.
Setting up a custom layout for montage has always been tricky, but doable. Now with a set of 20 cameras, its almost impossible to get the layout that I want.
There seems to be a grid of sorts on the canvas. Moving cameras around snaps to this grid. This leafs areas gray and unused. Not only that, when a camera is moved into a space, some other "random" camera in a row or 2 above, will snap out and go sit on the bottom. Trying to move that camera back to where is was, would snap out another one. Pin makes no difference, cameras still flip in and out.
When I decrease or increase one or more cameras, the whole canvas will rearrange snapping into different places. Mostly this will take out the gray areas, a good thing, but it will also move cameras around, not a good thing.

Yup it can get pretty erratic. If you don't need to lay things out exactly yourself, use the 2nd icon from the top right (grid icon), enter how many columns you want and it should auto fit.
