PCBnew "Add text" dialog uses interactive placement, even when a position has been entered (lp:#1822569)
Original report created by Frank Severinsen (shack)
When adding text in PCBnew, it's possible to enter Position X and Position
Y.
I don't see how they do anything, since it will be placed interactively
afterwards anyway.
Import graphics has an option to choose between Interactive placement, or a
position.
This would be really nice to have for the text placement as well.
