Library symbol vs eeschema symbol

Hi all
Why do the position of two labels of my symbol differ from library to eeschem?
Cheers

KiCad auto places symbol fields by default. this is done to allow the symbol to be rotated, mirrored, … as well as allowing multi unit symbols to have different sizes. (Just think about the number of possible placement options that you would need to define otherwise.)

This can be turned off in the preferences. (With the downside that rotation and mirroring will not really yield nice resuts.)
