i can't really explain this, i haven't seen it
but do go to Tools Prefs
Defaults Tab
Component
Edit Values button
here you will see all the edit comp dialogs and TABS
examine the coords of the comment and design positions
also note that you can change the default autoposition these
my eyes glaze over whenever i read the description about the 'permanent'
check box, but i can say that mine is OFF

I have created a number of component footprints for my pcb designs (Protel
99SE). When placing these components the Designator and Part Type fields are
always a long way off from the component unlike the footprints that were
supplied with Protel. What do I need to do to the footprint to force these
fields to start initially next to the footprint?
I know that, once applied, I can reposition using the `position field' (which
by the way already defaults to Centre-Above and Centre-Below) but this has to
be done with EVERY homemade footprint I have created.
