Summary	0013685: Text Box cursor should obey 'Align Text' by moving to that position BEFORE text input triggers it
Description	Current behavior: When opening a text box and activating the text box to be edited, when pressing the 'Align Text Center' button on the PP > Text section will not effect the cursor UNTIL text is given to it. More logical and predictable behavior: when pressing the 'Align Text Center' button should immediately move the cursor to the center of the text box. Same goes for 'Align Text Right/Left' buttons

Patch	No

Kunda 2016-01-26 01:59 updater ~0038435	There are 2 more weird things that happen in the gif: 1) Once I input text after I've chosen an alignment button (in this case Right Align) if I try to change the alignment (this case Center Align) the previous button will not deactivate in the PP even though the text will obey. 2) When first typing in some letters (in the above clip it was "cursor moved" seem to appear superscripted or raised up a 1pt or so...then suddenly they drop down and are more legible.
