Area Label Display on Export

Hello
I have GM15.1.18 Build March 31, 2014
I have loaded shape files covering a large area and created associated labels with "label Position relative to point feature" set to Automatic. When I export a PDF of a small segment, the labels for the areas that extend beyond my export boundaries do not display on my PDF. If i export with the same settings (fixed scale) but export the area where the labels display on my screen, they are included on my exported PDF. I have also selected "Always Display label if any labels are displayed" in my layer font dialog and "always display All Labels" from the Configuration/Vector Display dialog.
Is there a way to have area/feature labels included on an exported PDF if the area falls within the export boundaries but the default label positions do not?

The problem is indeed that the label position itself is outside the export bounds so it's never even considered. I've updated the PDF export so that if a labeled area is cropped a new label position is calculated based on the crop results so the label will be moved inside the area. I have placed a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper15.zip with the latest changes for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v15.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v15 version there is a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper15_64bit.zip .

That did the trick. However it seemed to effect a couple other things, The export outputs 1 label for each feature, but the program interface now displays 2 labels for each feature. Also, the label option to "Use Multiple Attributes for Name" , the "Attribute Separator" "New-Line" doesn't work, it puts the 2 attributes in a string with no spaces.
I've attached image, the 6 labels should only be 3, and each should be arranged "Name", New Line "#"

I took a look and found that some new Unicode display support had messed up multi-line text display for layers with a known code page. I've fixed that now.
