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.

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.
