I understand if the new style callouts don't behave as well as the ones you've used in the past.
Two questions:
Did you try my suggestion above to hold the Alt key while dragging in order to suspend snap and glue temporarily? Does it allow you to override Visio's auto-positioning?
Do you have a sample diagram you can email a diagram to the address I provided above?
I'm sorry to hear you are losing work because Visio has crashed. Are there any triggers you can identify that cause the problem?
