Not so much a bug as something we overlooked.

Ditto.

I guess these two are something we should check for in the code. We
will get to them eventually :-)

Originally the label was using a layout of Center - but this caused
difficulties with Memo controls. So Margin was added so that the
layout could be Top, with a Margin definition provided to allow offset
from the top (for albLeft labels) to give better appearance.

You can achieve additional spacing on the right of the label by adding
a Suffix of one or more spaces. I generally add a suffix of ": "
which gives a nice look to the labels (I think).

We attempted to create the label in such a way as to reduce minimise
the number of published properties - while still providing sufficient
flexibilty.

Let me know if the above suggestions do not help and we will try to
come up with something else.
