Alignment of centered text

[Ulrich W.]

I wanted to add a single letter above the left corner of a rectangle, so I clicked 1mm above the left corner and entered 'h'.

Of course that was left-aligned, so I changed the text layout to centered. However, to my surprise the 'h' did *not* get centered.

Likewise when I tried to move it horizontally, the "alignment clue" is still to the left of the text and not at the center of the text as I would expect.

Wouldn't it be more natural if the text would center when I chose centered text alignment, and if so, shouldn't be the center-line be the important horizontal "clue line"?

Well, after zooming. in I discovered that a center clue-line actually does appear occasionally when moving horizontally.

Welcome to the Affinity forums @Ulrich W.!

Just to be sure: Did you use the Frame Text Tool or the Artistic Text Tool? Maybe a video would be good or a sample file, because I have no problems here.
