Sketch Dimensions Flip location when I change any dimension value

I like working with diameter dimensions when sketching axisymmetric parts that I will revolve into a solid. I think it is one of the coolest features.

 

However, I consistently run into an issue where the dimensions will reposition themselves randomly when I update a dimension value. The diameter dimensions seem to be the biggest culprit here.

 

I made a screencast.  https://autode.sk/3DfF1Ag

 

Yes, it is a bit picky, and someone is going to ask why I care, but I share a lot of files with my team, and if the sketches are hard to read, it wastes time.

 

Am I doing something wrong with how I am applying these dimensions?

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes this very irritating and not helpful at all! I make injection moulds and create a lot of round core pines like this, on top of the dimensions shifting you also get this sort of thing if you change a draft angle.

I've complained about this before @jeff_strater could this be made an option is preferences, "Do not auto arrange dimensions in sketches"? This is like the little green tick that's always in the way while sketching, I guess there's some logic to it, just for me it's wrong most of the time.
