Leader Text

I am having several issues using SmartLeader.

1. After placing the start point, I click to choose the next vertex and the command stops. It places an arrow but doesn't let me enter any text. I have gone into the Leader Settings and chosen Note under Type. The way I am able to get around this right now is to use 'Reuse Next' at the bottom of the Leader settings. It let's me enter text as I expect, the only problem is that I have to keep going back to this screen for every leader I place. I would prefer to use the Don't Reuse option but that doesn't work.

2. When I am able to place text, it only accepts the first word. Example, I type METAL DETECTOR and only the word METAL shows up next to the leader. I have to edit the text and add anything after the first word.
