Left Align of text doesn't work


Posted on Mar 23, 2012 by Quick Dog

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Create a list box or Windows frame using the Sketchy GUI Widgets 2. Enter text 3. Select Properties and set Text (second tab) to left alignment 4. Export to PDF

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expect left-aligned text in list box, Windows frame. Instead, text is centered.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Pencil-1.3.4.win32.installer.exe on Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

Same issue occurs when running Pencil stand-alone on Ubuntu 12.04.

Running version evoluspencil_2.0.2-1_i386.deb

I have had this problem on various text objects, where the text is correctly displayed as left aligned on screen, but when generating a PDF or printing, it is centered. I'm using version 2.0.3 on Windows 8.

As a workaround, setting the text alignment to something else then setting it back to left aligned seems to fix it, though you may have to print twice before it picks up a change (that seems to be another bug, which I'll scan for and raise when I can).
