FCPX Pet Peeve: "Storyline" ?!

so, apparently first clip add timeline area denoted "storyline" , clips placed in same first track designated such. @ first that's find , dandy, start adding b-roll, graphics , titles, etc, , things weird.

instance, have sequence of clips can adjust, crop, distort , add transitions if want. decide put preset title on part of sequence, in case don't it's placement. ok, let me select (it's outlined in yellow), , see inspector options appear , box shown around text. if double-click on title's text in canvas, can drag position around. graphic background particular title (in case, 1 called "instant replay")?

1) can't click , drag around text.
2) if inspector shows it's still "inspecting" title (with big purple "t" @ top of window), , go change x , y position manually...it freaking changes position of entire canvas!!! title , sequence of clips below it!

solution? must right-click on title graphic in timeline , select "create storyline" in order change other properties. true of else in timeline want manipulate or add transitions to.

why this?
