I'm not too keen on the new graph view either. At first I thought it wasn't saving the scroll position but then found it was. Just not after I undocked the editor and brought it up again, floating. Which makes sense and wouldn't normally be a problem. Although maybe not great if it forgets between sessions.
So it raised an issue for me. When it comes up, it centres (more or less) the Start action. Even if that means moving other actions out of the frame. I'm not sure what the default action is intended to be when each FSM comes up for the first time in any given session. Is it not possible to have it always remember where you left it between sessions? If not, then what's it's default position intended to be? centre the start state, or maximize to show everything, or put the start state in the upper left corner.
Personally, my workflow has always been to align my actions from the top left corner, working my way down to the right, filling the frame. I liked how there was a fixed corner in the top left. Now there's an infinite scrolling space so there's always room to have it scroll off to the side and lose my position.
The thing is. I've never even needed more room. I like to keep my graphs as tight as possible and have never had a need to do much (or any) scrolling, let alone zooming out and requiring a minimap. Cool features though they are, and I'm sure others find them useful.
It seems to me if it would just have the fixed upper left corner, and by default it reset the view to the top left like it used to, while keeping all the zooming, scrolling, and saving of views, it might help. Maybe have an option to go between that and the infinite scrolling space. It's just a suggestion. Not sure how feasible.
The thing is, currently I may be experiencing a bug that keeps resetting the start to the centre, if so, most of what I said can be disregarded. But I wanted to get across how I for one use Playmaker.
