Hi, it just did some additional poking around and it seems, that the editor mode does not use explicit constraints at the moment. This seems to result in some kind of automatic placement creating havoc to the required layout. Adding default constraints, as found after simple start up in Windows2local fixes this. All modes show where expected. This happens with mode kind = editor. Hope this helps other mode placers ...
