Text shape alignment not working on single line

The Left/Middle/Right alignment parameter of a text shape does nothing, unless the text has multiple lines. I would rather have it adjust all the text with respect to the pivot, so a single line of text set to 'Left' alignment will start at the pivot and continue to the right; the same text set to 'Right' alignment will end at the pivot.
Default should be 'Middle' in order to get the same result as previous versions of 3ds Max for single lines of text.

    To add to this: The current behavior makes it tedious to precisely align the left border of a text to other elements, and this needs to be repeated as soon as the text is changed.
