Is there a 'feature' in FH that forces ancestors and their spouses onto separate rows from their siblings?

If so, is there a way to override it as it is making a section of one of my All Relatives diagrams look a bit odd.

In the screenshot, if I close the descendant line from Samuel and Alice Banks I can then drag the part of the tree over to the left of Thomas and Rhoda Jezzard, where it should logically and aesthetically be. I also want to drop the group down so they line up with their siblings.

As soon as I open the descendant line the tree segment pops back over to where it started.

I've checked in Help and 'Getting the Most...' but can't see anything relevant.

The design of All relatives means Ancestors are shown on a different line. You will need to use a different diagram type (eg descendant) to get them on the same line in V4.

Hmmm.. not too good really. I suppose I will have to live with that 'problem' as I need to use the All Relatives diagram. The Ancestors and Descendents diagrams do not show enough of the family (siblings and their spouses and children).

What about the strange loop FH has put in to place Thomas Jezzard and Rhoda Morgan to the LEFT of Rhoda's family group? Whatever I do I cannot move Rhoda's family to its proper place, to the left of her and Thomas, even though there is plenty of room. If I close the descendent line from Samuel Banks and Alice Morgan I can move the group over but as soon as I open the line the group pops back to its original place.
