- Research direction
- Investigate the paste operation in the node graph, likely in the graph editor module (e.g., `editor/src/messages/tool/tool messages/graph editor.rs`). Identify where the spawn position of the pasted node is set and compare it with the cursor's position at the time of paste. Look for any coordinate transformation that may be missing or incorrectly applied. Check the issue comments for any reproduction steps or additional context provided by the reporter.
