Is there a solution to this bug?

Go in to edit a text box that is left justified,
change justification to center justified,
delete text and type in new copy,
text in box stays left justified.

Doesn't seem to happen here. maybe I've misunderstood what you're doing though.

Forgot one detail. Text box needs to be set to resize to fit text. Old
(correct) way was for the text box to anchor at the center and resize both
left and right to fit text. What happens now is the text box anchors left
and resizes right to fit text.

OK, Gotcha.

Or to simplify the description:

With AutoWrap off and AutoSize To Fit Text on, text set to center justified, the
text box grows to the RIGHT as you add text, rather than growing left and right
equally. This makes the center point of the text box move right as text is added,
rather than remaining fixed as in previous versions.

I don't know of any solution, unfortunately.

Will pass it up the line, though.
