It’s the last day of my trial and I really like the software but I’m having some issues with alignment that is preventing me from building what I need to build. I’m hoping if I express it in detail perhaps someone here could help me figure out how to do.

I’ve read the Alignment tutorial and even built the Button page just as it is in the demonstration to help teach myself how to do this correctly. I’ve messed with multiple settings with some degree of alignment problem across multiple devices.

Here is a simple example of the problems I’m having:

I have a Basic template set up with a Panel and vertical scroll.
Inside of the panel, I have:

1) Text block 1
2) Image Block
3) Text Block 2

Using iPhone Portrait mode, I filled in some Lorum Ipsum text into both of the text panels to add some length.

Next, I aligned them all up against the left/right blue margins and the green (center) margin. I lined up the image to the bottom of Text block 1 and lined up Text block 2 to the blue margin of the image block.

The alignment of the both text blocks is set to:

The alignment of the image block is set to:

Everything looks good:

but when I switch to view landscape it does this (note the spacing between text block 1 and the image):

When I switch to 10″ Android Tablet, it does the same in both views:

Switching to iPad, it has the same problem and also offsets the first block of text to extend beyond the panel and the second block of text further from its designated margin:

… and if I move it back to the margins in Portrait mode and flip to Landscape mode, it actually moves the margin apart in the other direction:

Going back to iPhone Landscape:

…I moved the image and bottom text box to meet up with the margin again:

Then when flipping to portrait mode, this happens:

The project I am working on is going to require multiple text/image blocks in a vertical panel so this stacking has to be right for it to look readable… perhaps I’m confusing the alignment or neglecting something. Before I go any further could someone please point out what I’m doing incorrectly?

Thanks for the help,
Adam
