[Qgis-user] Label Blocking in Print Layout

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

In my MapInfo days, I would just create a layer with a big 100% 
transparent polygon on the top right corner and then place the North 
Arrow on top of this invisible box...  This required the creation of a 
polygon in the project that reflected the extent of the printed map.  If 
this does not work, you could also place a transparent label in the 
North Arrow box so that other label don't feel the need to invade that 
space. You can also force the placement of some labels by moving them. 
It helps when the map window and layout windows have the same scale.  
The last time I really payed attention to labels, QGIS would basically 
lock the label in when a labels was moved to a new position.  Not sure 
if this is the default now as I see there has been changes to the label 
engine.

Just my grain of salt...
