Map Text Treated as "Is Drawing" so we can place it wherever we want on the map.

Hey all, So I'm getting really tired of map text snapping to the grid with no option to set it as "Is drawing."  This is a simple thing, but I really want to be able to place text in exact spots so when my players see the maps, the objects will all be clearly marked.  Please either set text to be "is drawing" by default or give the option for text objects to be "is drawing" so I can position them without the snapping. Thanks in advance!

As a workaround in the meantime, you can hold the Alt key while positioning the text and it will not snap to the grid.

I also think that if you turn off the grid, it won't snap. So that would be useful in cases where you're adding map text during pregame prep. Gosh, maybe you could use the API to toggle it on/off.
