When i click a container, LC zooms right to the name of the container. 9/10 I want to move the contain while zoomed out to reposition it, not read the container or retype a name.

Hi ​@azmoving2016 

Lucidchart prioritizes label editing or reading over container repositioning by automatically zooming to the name field upon selection.

There is no setting to disable this auto-zoom behavior, manually zoom out after selecting a container using keyboard zoom controls is the way you should rely on.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
