I have a problem specifically with the placement of textboxes on the LEFT side of hotspots, markers, etc. when the option Auto Size is enabled.
Occasionally one has to place a textbox/tooltip on the left side of a hotspot. Unfortunately the current tools do not allow (or I haven't found the right method yet, although I can't imagine what else to try) to precisely place a textbox as it seems the length always is calculated from the left side of the text box, resulting in an unpredictable end on the right side.
If it's not clear, just build a hotspot with a textbox on the left, 5 px apart and enable autosize. Now see what happens to the 5 px with different content in the box. Anchor and alignment won't change that behaviour.

Hi JSchrader,
Just set the scaling centre to the right, the text box will expand from the right to the left.
