Steps I took that resulted in the problem:
Placed parts on the board and changed the name.

What I expected should have happened instead:
The Label that is created should be close to the part, but it is not and could easily be confused now for a different part. I think you should be able to move the label to be in the right place (even to move it to the front or back of the board where it is of use). My attempts to grab any label and move them has been futile. There are even labels that are currently positioned off the board.

@schneideris Can you pls attach the .fzz file (because a file means a thousand words…)
Can do. See attached.
Gunde Mega Shield.fzz (22 Bytes)
@schneideris So if I understand correct you want the labels to be positioned next to it by default?

Would be ideal for the label to be closer to the element, but even better if a user could move, rotate, delete, and add labels. Basically having control or capability to have the appropriate labels where they are of help.
Just realized that the file I sent you was a dud. I tried opening it on my end to the horror of realizing the file did not save (no error message that I noticed when saving). I have the Gerber files if they would be of any use (would upload but it looks like the site does not allow zip files).
