Part labels cannot be moved after lowering part #4283

Current Behaviour

Labels of a part cannot be moved any more performing certain actions.
The file attached is the base to the actions and one of the actions is described in detail in the Steps to Reproduce section.

Label-Issue-Base.zip

The actions I figured so far for

Top mounted components:

  • Send any of the buttons either to the back or backward
  • Send the PCB either to the front or forward

Bottom mounted components:

  • Send any of the buttons in any direction

Build:
Version 1.0.6 (CD-2239-0-04e5bb02 2025-10-07) 64 [Qt 6.5.3]

Operating System:
Windows 10 - 22H2

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open a new sketch
  • Go to the PCB view (view from above and both layers)
  • Place a pushbotton or any other part onto the PCB
  • Select the part and drag the label inside the part boundaries
    Image
  • Label at this point still can be selected and dragged
  • Right click the part and either select "Send backward" or "Send to Back"
    (The label color should now be slight grey)
  • Label cannot be selected any more

Expected Behaviour

The label is always selectable no mater I lower or raise the component.

Temporary fix

Select the part and delete it, then undo. This restores the labels position "above" the component.

Suggestion

  • Add label position coordinates into the Inspector
