Polymorphic VI Selector should snap to VI icon when dragging

Status: New

When dragging a control / indicator label or caption, if you move within a certain distance from the owning terminal the label will snap to one of a set of given positions (top-left, top-middle etc).  Outside this distance (or if the user presses the spacebar to toggle this behaviour), the label can be freely positioned.

 

The selector terminal for a polymorphic VI should display the same behaviour with regard to the owning VI icon.  A polymorphic selector is currently always free-floating.
