Label with LayoutJob halign LEFT is still centering the text

[cbeust]

Describe the bug

Creating a LayoutJob as follows is still causing the text to be centered in the Label:

let mut layout_job = LayoutJob::simple("Simple layout".to_string(), FontId::default(), Color32::GREEN, 100.0);
layout_job.halign = Align::LEFT;
ui.add(vec2(500.0, 15.0), Label::new(layout_job);

Expected behavior

The text should be aligned left.

Interesting - looking at the code in Label::layout_in_ui it should take halign into account. Perhaps add a breakpoint there and see what you can figure out?

I am not completely sure whether it is related but I noticed layout job text alignment being ignored with ui.put

I switched to using this code instead of put & the horizontal alignment now works 🙂

        ui.allocate_ui_at_rect(rect, |ui| {
            ui.vertical(|ui| {
                ui.add(Label::new(layout_job));
            })
        });
