Is there a way in the Layout Editor to set the Parenting to default to not making an object the child of the objects it’s moved within the boundaries of?
Thanks
XOJO doesn’t have it.
I really like to have this on the left-hand side of the screen.
Accustomed to using a tool that manages all developed classes and provides a clear, visual representation of inheritance, aggregation, and polymorphism.
Jose’s remarks give me impression that there may be more to this Parenting feature than I think. I’ve just taken it as a layout convenience gone wild.
I use the unparenting context menu item quite a lot because every time a control is moved, it becomes the child of something behind it. Is there a way to keep that from happening?

I misunderstood the question.
Your question refers to visual objects.
In my mind, I went to class management. When the class is instantiated, it becomes a visual object at runtime.
In my case, I haven’t had any problems manipulating visual objects while designing my application.
Perhaps with an example, we can see what problem you’re facing.
Here’s an example where the small rectangle becomes a child of the larger one when the smaller is moved within the larger.
