For the last month or 2, I have noticed labeling issues where polygon labels are overlapping. I was reading in a recent post that Esri has changed from a deconfliction strategy project. They are working on exposing a static and none deconfliction mode within the labeling experience and detecting label deconfliction between duplicated/repeated layers.
My question is, is there any way to revert to the previous labeling engine? Can we go back to a deconfliction stategy project? I just don't see, under any circumstance, when a map designer would ever want to have multiple labels stacked exactly on top of each other??! When is such a labeling strategy desired where the developers feel this is better than only labeling that layer that resides on the top of the table of contents? I think it would make more sense to only have one legible label than multiple labels placed exactly on top of each other so that none of the labels are legible.
