selection area for floating labels

[trickster60]

In creating a profile for new stereotypes (of UML::part) I have used the _image attribute to cause the label to be floating. Has anyone noticed that the selection area of such labels is really quite large? Having created a diagram with quite a lot of these objects it is a complete pain in the buttock that one is often selecting labels instead of the object intended, and it is equally annoying to have to manually resize the selection area on each to fix this.

Anyway my real question is: Can the selection area of floating labels on profile stereotypes be set on creation (via profile definition or through an add-in)? It's a little thing but its one of those usability things that can really tick people off after a while.

Thanks in advance.

Another manifestation (as I predicted)...

Looks like we both got sick of it at the same time!

Me too. I have diagrams with lots of ports. You never catch the port/connector you want. Most time it's the label overlaying it. There should be a hot spot for labels (top left corner) to actually select a label.

P.S. Just yesterday I thought I should submit a bug report.
