This needs to be fixed, otherwise eeschema is impossible to use if all the common fields are scattered half a page away from the placed component.
Still present in the latest nightly.

I'm marking this confirmed as several people have reported this now - yet I still remain unable to reproduce it myself :\

I am effected by this bug, its been present for quite some time, so many commits, including the most recent, are effected. I am using the macOS version.

It only occurs when autoplace is turned off. If it is on, its ok.

I've attached a copy of the part seen in the screenshot, and a screen shot of the issue.

Okay, with the attached library I absolutely can reproduce this.
