Unable to position a subflow containing a ui-node on the dashboard #710
Description
Current Behavior
I have a ui-text in a subflow with the Group configured via a subflow property. It functions correctly except that the position of the widget in the group does not work if the group has at least two other (non-subflow) widgets. It is possible to position it at the top or the bottom, though often node-red must be restarted for that work, but it seems not possible to position it between the other two nodes. I have tried restarting node-red, clearing the browser cache etc but the widget remains stubbornly stuck at the bottom or top. If there is a workaround I would grateful to know it as this is holding me up.
Expected Behavior
It should be possible to position it.
Steps To Reproduce
Import this example flow and attempt to position the subflow node between the other two.
