Constant label location bug?
As I was answering the question posted in this thread, I stumbled upon this little "feature" (tested in LV 2011).
The Options panel allows you to specify the location of diagram object labels:
By default, it is set to the first value, which is "Top-Left":
However, for constants created from a control, it looks like this:
If you try to change that option, say to "Top-Middle", and create a constant, it will still give you the result shown above. For any other object (Loop, Function, etc) it seems that the location preference is used properly:
Even if you create a constant from a control whose label is at the "Top-Middle", a constant created from it will look as above. No biggie, but that appears to be an undocumented feature.
Note that if you create a very small For Loop and show its label (when the default location is "Top-Middle"):
and resize the loop, the label will stick to the Top-Left corner:
no matter whether or not you check the "Labels locked by default". Puzzling to me...
I am sure there are other oddities. Won't prevent me from sleeping though.
Hey there,
That does seem odd. I will reproduce this on my machine and file a bug report.
Thanks for pointing that out.
Happy Thanksgiving!
