One thing I can do is make a slight adjustment when tapping to insert text. In that scenario, I could offset the creation of the textbox to ensure that text entry begins at that point. Users that want a box with a border would be dragging to specify the box dimensions, so this shouldn't impact that scenario. So if your main concern is with the initial placement of the text, this would address that. However, I'm not going to change the behavior of what middle or right alignment means in regards to how the text is inserted as you type.

That's a good compromise, thanks.  The most often used justification is left anyways and the middle and right justifications only make sense when creating a box because a one word or one liner text, now that I understand it, like you said earlier,  it barely affects the position and to move it is only an easy click and drag.
But your change would definitely help to locate the initial cursor.

Thanks!
