Hi everyone,

today I started to create a symbol for a microcontroller.
Since there are so many pins I decided to split the device to 3 gates:
One for general GPIO, one for Analog Inputs, one for supply and clock 
and jtag etc.

This results in different sized symbols for each gate.
Currently there seems to be no option to place the Reference and Value 
fields at different locations for each gate.
So when I place the fields on the correct location for one symbol this 
results in either the fields being right accross the other symbol or too 
far off the symbol and therefore clashing with other symbols in the 
schematic.

There's even an old bug report for it: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1334502

Are there any plans to make it possible to place the fields 
independently for each gate?

Best Regards,
  André
