Nasser,

The same thing happens with Panel. Strictly speaking, the documentation 
indicates that the two argument list for position only applies when a LIST 
of labels is given. But this certainly seems like a design flaw because in 
most cases a user would only use a single label. (I also seem to recall that 
the single label case worked in Version 6.0.0 - but I might be mistaken.)

The following works (but is inconvenient):

Panel[{1,2,3},{"123"},{{Bottom,Right}}]
Panel[{1,2,3},{"123"},{{Bottom,Left}}]
Panel[{1,2,3},{"123"},{{Top,Right}}]
Panel[{1,2,3},{"123"},{{Top,Left}}]
Panel[{1,2,3},{"123"},{{Left,Bottom}}]
