Thanks for your feedback.

Currently associations use some heuristics to figure out how to display the name and multiplicity at the end of the association line.

If the line is (pretty much) horizontal or vertical, name and multiplicity are displayed on both sides of the line. Otherwise both are displayed on the same side, depending on the angle of the line.
In doing so, the association is not aware of the side it's connected on a class or interface.

It may be worthwhile to investigate if that's possible.

Just out of curiosity: why don't you attach the lines to the top/bottom of the classes? That way the text on the association end will not overlap the class.
