[mapguide-users] Overlapping labels for points

Assuming that Studio is reporting correctly, "Labels are fixed (not 
dynamic)" and "Allow other labels to obscure feature symbols on this 
layer" are not checked.  In the XML files AllowOverpost is false.  I'm 
not certain, but I believe the problem only happens when there are no 
symbols being displayed with the labels (i.e. I have it set so that when 
at large scales, there are no symbols drawn, just the city name labels).
