Rid me of this annoying warning when adding an arrow to a text object

I am detailing the plan of the foundation for a house with a walkout 0 level.  A walkout basement.  

 

As with any basement with all kinds of framed walls and room finish detail, one needs two SPVs:  one for the foundation plan, one for the floor plan.  I am in the foundation plan, the SPV established, all the required defaults set.

 

 

 

I select TEXT, type in the text, set my attribute for alignment RIGHT, and go ENTER.  There's my text.

I go ALT+A to get TEXT LINE WITH ARROW (why is it called that?) and click and draw my arrow where I want it coming off the text box, and POP! goes this stupid warning message.

I do not want that layer on.  I have a layer specifically established for foundation text, and it is on.  I can draw the arrow OK despite the message, and the arrow goes to the right layer,

BUT WHY THE SPEED BUMP?  I don't need this message, do I?

Thanks, Ryan!  New trick for me.

 

But still, why the annoying behavior?  Why does Chief think a text arrow being drawn is on the TEXT layer?

It is designed to be on the same layer of what it is being attached to.  I find it helpful and prior to that would always change the layer with the layer painter tool so that It would show only when I wanted that text or note to be shown.  Otherwise your text might not be showing in a particular view but a random arrow would be.

Can you post your entire screen?
