Beinan,

I've just restored the feature that allows you to select a region on a 
label track, and type in a new label.  This is probably what you 
previously used to have text on multiple label tracks.

You can/should also be able to do this in the older beta by first 
selecting a region on the track and then using CTRL-B or 
Tracks->Add-Label-At-Selection.

Let me know if there is still a problem.
