- remind me please.
Can't you simply , without touching anything in the balloon dialog, the ballon is now "hanging" on the cursor, position the cursor on a edge ( highlighting) , then ( this is the trick) Press, do NOT click, Press left mouse button and move away from the edge, The leader should appear and be sliding as long as the left mouse button is pressed.
Move the cursor to where the balloon should be placed, then Click to place. ( This is way simpler to do live than to describe in text..
When moving the ballon :
( without opening the dialog) press-drag-release to move the balloon AND
If combined with "Shift" -key, the leader will again slide along the edge.
Is there still a need for the "Sticky" ?

Yes, I'm familiar with the workflow for placing the balloon that you described. However, in my opinion it's very cumbersome, unnatural and completely unnecessary. Even you admit, it's hard to describe it in text. So, I prefer the workflow for placing the balloon that follows after clicking the "select terminating body" button. I think it's much quicker and much simpler. However, I don't want to have to click the button every time I place a balloon. So, is there a setting in customer defaults to get the workflow that I prefer without having to click the "select terminating body" button every time?

you want click( place leader) + click ( place balloon) instead.
The difference is ... very small.
No, i don't know if it is possible to change.
