Research direction
Investigate the current block placement logic in the builder frontend. The issue requests that placing a block should not move the screen or change zoom level. Look at the existing placement algorithm to identify where screen movement and zoom changes occur. Consider implementing a placement that finds the nearest empty space without altering viewport. Relevant files likely in the builder component. Discuss in comments to clarify expected behavior.
