I’m not sure if this has been noted in any of the other icon-related bugs, but this is a particularly annoying one for me. If an icon is used as the FIRST character in a preset name, it is displayed with normal alignment (top of image). If an icon is used as the LAST character in a preset name, the icon is fixed at centre alignment and the text is squished to its left. This bug also presented itself in MC6PRO beta firmware starting around April, and I had hoped it would be resolved by MC8PRO launch, but it has not been. Oops!

Yep, this frustrates me, too!
There are a lot of related bugs for this. Try adding another icon, etc.
Yes - all icons exhibit the same problem (and you already can’t add more than one icon to a preset name, if that’s what you meant), but this is a new bug introduced recently in the MC6 beta firmware (a month or two ago) which breaks behaviour that already functioned normally. I searched a bit and couldn’t find it referenced directly in any of the other reports so I just wanted to make sure it was indeed reported.
Yes it still isn’t working correctly in the current firmware.
We have just fixed the code for this to align the icon correctly i.e. left, right or center depending on whether there is text to the left or right of the icon, or no text with the icon. We’ll release an updated firmware here by EOD if you want to give it a go.
And yes, the current implementation still isn’t perfect i.e. only 1 icon is allowed and the position can only be either left, right or center.
What does this mean, specifically. Something like this?:
- \h Left
- Right \h
- Cen \h er

yes, this is correct
So this is not supported: “un \h balanced”?
Yes that is supported. The icon will appear in the middle in this case
Then I don’t understand what you meant by “position can only be either left, right or center”.
Not sure it matters.
I meant that the icon cannot be placed anywhere else on the X-axis. There’s currently no setting to, say, put it at 2/5th from the left, for example.
Wow. Sounds complicated. I think I’ll need to see it to understand.
I assumed the location is relative (inline) to the other characters in the text. I think that’s what most people expect. Then maybe there’s something which says the entire name is left, centered, or right justified … after any line breaks (\n) or wrapping.
Was that already pushed?
