Description

Hi !

I frequently encounter the following bug : depending on other layer's visibility, some labels (of polyline layers) are moved to an endpoint of the line rather than being display in the middle.

- This does not happen at all scales and I couldn't manage to find out when it's happening and when not.
- I tried to play around with some render settings, but it seems there's no relevant option to avoid this.
- The bug is already present in 2.0.1.

See the screenshots :
A - display is as expected
B - when activating another layer, one of the label moved it's position

I can provide a test file upon request (I'd rather not post it here, but can send it privately without problem)

Try un-checking "Discourage labels from covering features" for the lots layer, or for both layers. It is under Vector Properties -> Labels -> Rendering
