Description

Presently it seems like the top or left object in a selection of multiple objects is used for snapping. It would be better if the snapping were done based on the particular object in the selection was clicked for the drag.

Research direction

Start by tracing the editor's multi-selection drag and snapping behavior. Confirm how the clicked object is identified during a drag and how the current top or left object is used for snapping. Done means snapping follows the particular selected object that was clicked, while multi-object dragging continues to work correctly.
