It may happen that while moving elements around, labels to sequence or message flows appear to be placed out of sight. To fix this, you can use the center labels functionality under  Edit → Alignment. The selected flows will have their label placed in the receptive center. If no flows are selected, all labels in the entire diagram will be centered.
This is also available as a button in the toolbar:  (blue star) .

BPMN element should have a short and sensible name. Nevertheless it may happen, that the textarea inside a task element is not large enough. To help out, you can enable task-resizing via Edit → Resize → Enable resize task (Toolbar: (blue star)). Then you can increase the size of a task element by dragging the corner of the text field. If you want to reset the size to default, use Edit → Resize → Set task to default size (Toolbar: (blue star)).
