hey there…

when wireframing in miro, different sized text boxes and assets (like images, buttons etc.) never align correctly using the align tool. i always have to align them manually, which drains a considerable amount of time. below is a screenshot of the problem. you can see the red line is the actual alignment reference and all assets align in different horizontal positions…

and if i select the assets and use the align tool, here's how it looks.…

you can see that vertical alignment completely fails. does anyone know how to tackle this issue?

I have a weird trick for this one.

  1. Convert all your text box to shapes (e.g., square).
  2. Convert them back to text box.

And voilà! no more padding on the boxes.

They still need to fix this.
