Fortunately you can prevent that from happening by converting the widget into a a dropdown (so call Select List) menu.So here we go :

  • Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML 
  • Don't mark Expand Widget Templates and search for :
<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'/>

Now replace this code with :

<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<select style='width:100%' onchange='location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
<option>Click to choose a label</option>
<b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>
<option expr:value='data:label.url'><data:label.name/>
(<data:label.count/>)
</option>
</b:loop>
</select>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</div>
