Drop object on desired spot

I would like to cut a form's object and paste it on the same or other form
again on the spot where I right-click to paste it. Is this somehow possible?
When I paste the object, it's always dropped on the left upper corner of the
form. I tried holding the shiftt/Crtl/Alt key but that didn't help.
Thank you.

What I do is place a line object slightly above where I want to paste, then
delete the line after pasting.

Sorry, pasting an object onto a form or report will always place it in
the upper left corner of that form's/reports section.
Why not just write down the objects left and top property values
before cutting/copying it. Then, after pasting it onto a different
form or report, set it's left and top values to whatever the original
objects left and top values were.
 
Cause we are lazy and computer should know where the cursor is. A good
sugestion for future versions.
 
Thanks for confirmation. Writing down the coordinates is probably more work
than dragging the object from the upper left to the desired location.

I'm starting to really like you.

Your right, when I'm designing forms it is kind of iritating. Copy and
paste buttons from one tab to another in a tabed form is really iritating.
Only by suggestions like yours will it improve. Pete
