Dragging label/caption should update text justification too

Status: New

Whenever I drag an object's label or caption I can't help expecting the text justification to change too. Is there any use case where this would not be desired?

 

The current behaviour is particularly inconvenient when I first drag a label, and then later edit the label text:

I feel that "auto-justification on drag" should apply to controls/indicators/constants on the front panel and block diagram.

 

A search of the idea exchange turned up a mention of this concept here (credit to M*H*), but it seems to have been lost as a sub-idea of a not-so-popular parent idea. I think it deserves a chance of its own!

More specifically, this should probably only apply to when the labels are snapped to the terminal.

Yep - that was the idea. Thanks for clarifying 🙂

+1 for Quirky Labels Part 3! (Related, Parts 1 and 2) Generalized, I'd like it if labels were not even configurable, but just worked.

Great idea as an option!
