Hi Adolfo,

Thanks, I followed your suggestion and placed the combobox to the right side:

I use "Content alignment" instead of "Text alignment" because it also affects
tables and other objects anchored inside the frame (other frames, drawings or graphics).
I pushed this version to the master, so it can be tested. If you have any other
suggestions please don't hesitate to share them with me.


Thanks,
Tamás
