If, on a multi-layer graph, I have inadvertently clicked on one layer and shifted it away from the other layer (so the graph's corners no longer match up exactly), how do I fix this? Trying to move it back with "drag and drop" never fixes it perfectly, and the Edit/Undo command is unavailable.

If you have your layers arranged in a grid (for example, 2 columns and 2 rows), the easiest way to re-establish the arrangement is to select Edit:Add and Arrange Layers. This menu command opens a series of dialogs allowing you to define the number of columns and rows in the layer arrangement and then the spacing between layers.
The Arrange tab of the Layer tool (Tools:Layer) provides the same controls.

Right-click on the Layer icon in the upper left hand corner of your graph, selecting Layer Properties from the shortcut menu list. The Plot Details dialog will open with that layer object active - 3 (4) property tabs will be available: Background, Size/Speed, and Display (Linked Axes Scales). On the Size/Speed Tab, note the Layer Area settings. You can modify these.

Note: Layers greater than 1 can be linked to layer 1, from the Link Axes Scales Tab. This is helpful for positioning layers on a page. If all your layers are linked to layer 1, you only need to click on layer 1 to resize or reposition. All other layers will follow.

If your layers are composed as completely overlapped, you can set both Number of Rows and Number of Columns 1 (and other parameters can be as are in default) by Edit:Add&Arrange Layers. Origins (I mean the crossing point of X and Y axes) of all layer axes will come to the same location.
