Hello,  
I’m trying out the new release 2020.1, auto-translate to JS and the online debug mode look great! Thank you.

I was wondering if there’s documentation on the new text parameters. I saw in the changelog that alignment has changed, but I tried different things and couldn’t get left alignment in the Builder.  
I tried with alignText=‘left’ in either the BeginRoutine or EachFrame tab and the text remains centered. The old code (setAlignHoriz) still works in JS.

Thanks
