Reposition Label also grabbing other grips

I have a guideline and am using ortho to align my plant labels.
When I try to reposition at least one label, the function is also grabbing one grip from the guideline. I have attached an image where you can see the grey line following the cursor.
None of the grips on the label block are actually touching the line. It seems to just randomly grab that line upon using the function.
I think you'll find an easier method to align your labels is to press F9 while labeling to engage Snap Mode. You can set the Snap X and Y spacing appropriately (and even set the Grid spacing to match). That way there's no need to draw a guideline.

Thank you for the workaround, but this doesn't acknowledge the bug in the plugin.

It would generally be great to have the Land F/X plugin working with AutoCAD, instead of expecting the user to limit themselves to a fraction of AutoCAD functionality to accomodate the plugin.

Also, the grid snap doesn't allow me to align a label with a plant that is not on the grid, and so it is actually more difficult to align the label than using ortho and guesswork with a guideline.
