[Designer 2.0.0.0] Unexpected Results with Alignment Panel

[Mark Oehlschlager]

I've noticed different results between the Alignment Pop-up Panel and the Layer > Alignment menu command when trying to align to a selected Key Object:

Having selected a group of objects, then using the Option key to indicate a Key Object, if I then select the menu command "Layer > Alignment > Align Middle" (for example), all objects align to the Key Object as expected.

However, if, after selecting a Key Object, I then bring up the Alignment Pop-up Panel from the toolbar and select the "Align Middle" button, the collection of objects will NOT align to the Key Object by default unless I also choose "First Selected" from the "Align to" pop-up option.

Is this behavior in the Alignment Pop-up Panel by design?
