Hi MrC,

If I use italics on right-aligned titles the text does stick out a mm or 2 but that really isn't the core of the issue. I didn't really get the situation clear in my head. Let me try again:

I have 13 right-aligned text-based titles with varying width. The first title is quite wide (+/-520 pixels) and the rest is relatively narrow. In the down-left quadrant I have a background picture that I don't want covered by the selection bar. I have 2 choices:

- Either I get the same width for all titles and let the selection bar cover the background picture. This is the easiest but not nice. The selection bar sticks out a lot on the left (depending on the length of the title) and none on the right because of the right-alignment.
- Or for esthetic purposes I set the title width for each title separately to match the text width exactly. This way it won't cover the background image as I wanted and sticks out 0pixels on both sides. But this is quite laborious because I'd have to work out the width for each title and calculate the left position from the desired right position.

Ideally I'd love to have right-aligned text with a selection bar centered over the text with like 10 pixels sticking out on both ends of the title.

So I guess my request would be to have the option for the selection bar to match the title width (or rather an x number of pixels on both sides) and the option to set a right position.

EDIT: I noticed too that there's a difference in font size and positions between Preview and Edit Mode. If I make the title label square exactly fitting with the text, the preview and the resulting DVD actually show the selection label sticking out. JPEGs:
