Structure label component does not show while dragging into place

Another oddity for the day...

 

When I reposition structure labels (in their 'dragged state'), the component <[Structure Offset Side(CU)]> does not show up while in drag mode. Sort of makes it hard to see the limits of the label if you are trying to place it in a congested area. Watch the "LT" part of the label in the GIF below.

 

No, it's not that big of a deal, but alignment labels with the same component do not behave this way, so I have to wonder why the strucure labels do.....

That's definitely odd. Are you using 2014?

 

Looking at the grips, it appears the view has a rotation to it. Out of curiosity, does it behave the same if there is no twist to the view?

 

Off to test it on my machine.

Nope, it doesn't matter if the view is twisted and yup, I can do it on my machine as well.

 

Very odd.

Sorry, I violated the most basic rule off all.... (state the version you are using!)

No this is 2013 SP2, but I recall it occurring on 2011 also.

 

Yes, the UCS has been rotated.

Does the same thing in 2014. 

 

I tested with a bunch of the other options in the label style (not all of them though) and that seems to be the only one doing it.

 

Really weird.

Still an issue in 2015 SP1.
