Label whispering is too agresive

Hi.
Just realised that Kicad whisperer in Global Label Properties is crazy. It’s not possible to make “FAN” label, when there is “Fan_pres” label already in the schematic. The wisperer is way too agressive and changes everything what I write.

I have to specifically select the letter “c”, overtype the “C”, and then save it immediately. This is a nuisance. I’d prefer to j…

Yeah it is. Didn’t see that one.

So, is it possible to turn this off until the “fix” gets backported?
