Overlap of Trade DOM Position and Order Lines

I have noticed that when i am in a position that i want to take a scratch on my buy or sell limit order line overlaps and makes my position line not visible. this also happens with other overlapping childs and other order lines. That is you can only see one line on top and not the other line/label that is "underneath it". Do you have any solution for this ? to be able to stagger them slightly or have them go next to each other. I know about moving them the left or right using global settings.

Thank you

In trying to recreate the problem I have come to realize that there is in fact no overlap problem. The Position of the order lines appear next to one another in line. I
What i did notice in trying to get orders to overlap with one another was that if i have a stop order (child or active) i was not able to place buy limit order at that level. Not sure that logistically i would want to do that. That is to place a sell stop order and a buy limit order in the same line. I assume that this is done intentionally by the platform to avoid such a scenario ?

Thank you for your help
