Okay, in GTK alignment is switched automatically according with the paragaph reading order (which is a good thing).

Fixing 236513 will fix this too (note that the description of 236513 doesn't say anything about alignment so this is not very intuitive).

Last note: we fixed this problem for label, see Bug 222582.

Feel free to close as a duplicate of 236513.

I saw the bug 236513 is fixed in 3.5M4. But I still can reproduce this problem in 3.5.1. So I reopen this bug.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
