[Qgis-user] Incorrect placement of ABC labels

[magerlin]

When trying to label a polygon layer I wanted to place the label over the
polygon centroids.

This should be possible by selecting the ABC Advanced pane and ticking off
"over centroid".

But it seems ABC is rather poor at calculating the centroids. 

In the image below I have used "Vector/Geometry tools/Polygon Centroids/" to
add the polygon centroids and especially for some of the small polygons the
labels are far off (even though these polygons are very regular - they are
made as buffers around a line).

The project is in EPSG:25832 (UTM) projection and I use Qgis 1.8 in win7
