Moving a text box by dimensioning it relative to another object changes the size of the text

I have a text box on an object and the box is sized to get the text size I want.  However, If I move the text box by anchoring it to some other entity, this also changes the size of the text box (and the text).  In the images below, I have a text box "6x19 V1" anchored to the edge of the blue object at a distance of 3mm.  However, if I change the distance from 3 to 2mm, this also changes the size of the text.  This looks like a bug, as changing the distance of an entity from another entity should not affect the size of either entity.

If you don't want anything to accidentally change, you need the sketch to be black. It looks like you don't have anything constraining the position left/right (with respect to the text). You should tie all this down unless you want to be able to drag the text visually first, and then add a dimension.

Not a bug: you didn't define the size of the text so it's free to resize. Add a dimension on the text "box" height (or width if that's the important one...) to keep it the same.
