Most modules react to their size, hiding some of the information to remain as compact as possible

It’s possible to select several modules at once drawing a selection rectangle and adding to/removing from selection with Ctrl/Cmd+Click on modules. While several modules are selected it’s possible to move them together or use a context RMB-menu to resize or pack stacked modules.
