@jerryfaust I’m wondering if it could be related to this: > [@Problems with labels captions + categories in version 5.2.4 on PostrgreSQL layer](https://mapwindow.discourse.group/t/problems-with-labels-captions-categories-in-version-5-2-4-on-postrgresql-layer/1035/10): > > Hello Valeriy; I think I’ve got it. When one of the developers was adding ‘caching’ to the label positioning, they made a typo. Notice that both x and y are being set to labelX. So the labels were not being drawn because they were far outside of the viewport. Regarding the three scenarios in your video, I can’t yet explain all of the behavior: The first time setting up labels (through MapWindow5), the x and y are both zero, so that is why no labels are displayed. I will try to fig… …as one of the things I sometimes see is that the labels are arranged diagonally - which would tie in with the x and y positions both being set to “x”. Is there a build available with this fix in? Regards, Rob --- _[View the full topic](https://mapwindow.discourse.group/t/generating-labels-after-editing-shapefile-table-not-working-in-5-2/1002)._
