Description
**Tl;dr: Move "Add a task" from the bottom to the right like in Google Forms.**
Currently, adding tasks somewhere specific in a bigger survey is quite cumbersome, as a new task is by default added at the bottom as last task, and moving it up requires quite the abarticulation of keeping right-mouse clicked while turning the scroll wheel.
Instead, it would be elegant to have the "Add a task" pane **scroll along with the users scroll**, and **adding a new task places it at the current position** instead of at the end.
Certainly not of high priority, but worth to think about it.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Reproduce the survey task editor and locate the UI entry point for the “Add a task” pane; compare its behavior while scrolling and inserting tasks. Done means the pane follows the user’s scroll position and a new task is inserted at the current position rather than always at the end.
