Description
### What problem are you experiencing?
When a node is selected from the menu, and before it is placed, a hovering preview is rendered (presumably to allow the user to click where they want the node to be placed).
However, I find that this results in an extra click and also having the preview trail behind the mouse causes performance lag. I see how some users might value this function, but it seems like the type of thing that should be able to be turned off via setting.
### When does this problem occur?
When placing a node
### How often do you encounter this problem?
Multiple times per day
### How much does this problem affect your workflow?
Causes moderate inconvenience
### Current workarounds
_No response_
### Ideas for solutions (Optional)
Add setting to turn off the hover preview and instead revert to the prior logic of the node being placed, and the user can move it post-placement.

Research direction
Start by tracing the node-placement flow used after selecting a node from the menu and reviewing existing settings related to placement. Confirm that a setting can disable the pre-placement hover preview while preserving the prior placement behavior, then verify node placement works correctly with both modes.
