the insertion point is in a text field so the keyboard is shown.

What IS needed is something indicating the top half of the screen is  
scrollable, which allows you to bring other items into view.

that seems like a definite bug - the new elements are covered by the  
background color when you connect them to the rest of the graph but  
until then they float - maybe this is a "post-regcognition step" where  
they have been recognised from your stroke but not actually entered  
into Graphviz?

I'm less and less a fan of shake-to-delete and I think it may have to  
be retired due to the new use of shake in OS 3 (undo, but I'm not sure  
if that is always or only after a paste).
