This would certainly solve the "issue" for this particular shape. However, 
I suspect there are other shapes where it might also be useful to be able 
to hide the text. So instead of fixing all the likely shapes, and possibly 
adding a lot of check tick-boxes, this might be a more general solution.

Does this make sense?
