As a workaround, it's relatively simple to create a label style that will
accomplish what we need in Texas. Change the dragged state to not display a
leader and place the vertical label in the profile view where necessary.
I ran into another issue with this in that we can't currently snap to the PI
of a vertical curve to draw a vertical line to the bottom of the profile
band.
