I wouldn't switch it off, since that would no doubt result in a bug

(although it could do with some improvement). There is already a bug or
two filed about text placement (roles, association names, and
multiplicities) for UML associations and messages:

The thing to do (and I'm mentioning this in bug 65430) is to have a
default placement but also a handle so the user can adjust it.  Such a
handle is used in several other objects.  The switch between automatically
placed and user-placed should be controlled in the same way as
auto-routing for zig-zag lines.  Good little project for somebody with a
bit of time on their hands.

On the other hand these properties are usless. I must use the text element to 
display multiplicities, roles and message names.

Why would you need the text element, when the only issue with
multiplicities, roles, message names etc is their poor automatic
placement? The two bugs I previously mentioned (65430 and 118313) raise
two different approaches to solving this problem (improve automatic
placement, and provide a manual placement option), and it looks both
will (eventually) be implemented - yay!
