Feedback #9334
Text labels in map view are moved down or hidden when other text labels are visible


Description
Right-clicking a periapsis or apoapsis marker to pin it, and then hovering over something else that produces a text label, makes the pinned text label move down.
It actually affects all text labels: there is a certain order among them, and if multiple are on screen they are placed along the Y axis as they would when they are close together, even if they are not. The screenshot shows the maneuver node label and periapsis label being pushed down, because of the Eve Encounter and Eve Escape labels.
This also means that if there are too many labels on the screen, some will be rendered as ellipses, or are hidden completely.

This is expected behaviour, and not a bug.
The labels are deliberately moved down to prevent overlap when looking at the orbits edge on.

If there are more than 4 (if I remember correctly) labels anywhere on the screen, not all labels are displayed. Is this seriously by design?

Added two screenshots which show the difference between hovering over a maneuver node and not hovering over that maneuver node. The pinned Mun periapsis moves down and turns into an ellipsis.

The logic for text labels has been improved and should allow for many to be displayed at once without interfering with each other in KSP 1.2
