You have opened a project. You have selected a model view. Edit > Properties. In the Item labeling field of the Model view dialog, you have clicked [...]. In the Property arrangement column, click a cell and then [...].
In this dialog you can specify the display settings for the different properties of the item placed in the layout space. Individually placed properties can be docked with each other and made into a single block; when moving, this allows all the (desired) text to be moved at once and avoids overlapping of multi-line text with other text.
