[worldKit-dev] labels appearing in wrong place

[Michael Hughes]

hmmm, well I have been playing with the sample files from worldkit.org
and I *can* re-create the bug really simply ... just remove all the
description tags in rss.xml ... when you view the map all is fine apart
from the 'Read all about it' label at -60 45 appears with a gap above
the point. Seems that something is going on with positioning of the
label box. Can someone else try this so I know I'm not going mad?

Mike
