Hi all,
There are two versions of labeling (the old version in the layers
properties tag) and the new version with the ABC button. The old version
will be abandoned and replaced by the new version. So, if you create a
new project it is recommended to use the ABC button. If there are
problems/bugs, please make sure they are fixed by bug reporting them
and, if possible fix it or hire someone to fix it.
Thanks,
Andreas

I regularly have the same problem, but there are a couple of
alternatives.
The one that I use is Layer Properties->Labels, Display Labels,
select the
field containing label then the Advanced tab. You can now use the
Data
defined placement->Angle to specify your angle field. You can also
use the
same principle to use field dependent size, colour, etc. If nothing
is
defined, QGIS simply uses the settings from the Label Properties tab.
While
not documented anywhere that I've seen, you can also use the
following for
Placement - 'Bottom Left','Left','Top Left','Bottom','Over',
'Top', 'Bottom Right','Right','Top Right'.
The other alternative is to use the ABC tool, but the only way that I
can
see to get it to work is to first define fields for 'Label distance',
'X
Coordinate' and 'Y coordinate' - you will then have the option to
select a
value for 'Rotation'. You could probably add a dummy field to your
file
(using NULL values) and point the first three options there... but I
haven't
tried that.
