I noticed something minor with the 'editor view' in house:

1.) Tap on editor mode.
2.) Scroll screen around.
3.) Tap furniture inventory.
4.) Select furniture item (do not place yet).
5.) Tap outside of furniture selection list (pc servers only? I've heard that device's list covers the whole screen, so might not apply).
6.) Press movement controls. Should make your character move, regardless of editor mode being in effect.
7.) Place a furniture item.

Normally while in editor mode, your furniture items fall in a heap wherever your screen view is centered, but this will cause the furniture to drop in front of your character again, until you re-enter the furniture selection list.
