Continue text for piano pedal is misaligned

When a piano pedal continues in the next system, the (Ped.) sign overlaps the line (or viceversa). This is because the default values for placement are not adequate. The correct values can be input using the inspector for pedal line. I've found these values should be x = -5 and y = 0.15.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it doesn't make things easy, since one must change every pedal. The style page for pedal seems to have no setting for continuation line.
This didn't happen with earlier versions in which the pedal continuation was rendered correctly without any intervention. Admittedly, the posibility to fine tune the position is beneficial, but it would be better if the default settings yielded a resonably looking pedal continuation .
