Hi

I have another question regarding labels:

When I move a label that is attached to an element from the library, a  
red line will be drawn from the label to the element it is connected  
to. This helps identify the element that the label belongs to.

However, when I move a label that is attached to an element I made  
using the "convert selection to element" function, that red line is  
drawn from the label to a seemingly random location on the screen.

Why is that? When making the element I double checked that I didn't  
select anything that didn't belong to it. I'm guessing that something  
is wrong with the position of the center of the element (if I zoom in a  
lot, I can see a small gray diamond at the position that the line  
points to).

I'm using CVS version of the GTK hid.

Best regards
Tomaz
