Hi,

The development version of Openlayers has a new facility: smooth tile transition. When panning, the old image remains visible for 2.5 seconds under the new one, so as to make the panning process smoother. This works fine for static maps, but gives undesired effects with MapServer labels. Those are computed anew for every request, so e.g. labels for items at the corner of the map get a different position, to keep them inside the displayed map. This results in old and new labels being displayed next to one another for some time.

Is there an option in MapServer to constrain the labels to always have the same position respective to the geometry they are labeling?
