Why an Alignment in the Text when I can't insert Text?

Surely you saw that there is a text alignment in this content part, although you can't insert a text into the content part.

First create a content part "Multimedia", then  a CP "WYSIWYG HTML" or "Plain Text". The CP with the text goes automatically to the position that you selected.

Here is an example:
First the CP "Multimedia" has been created with the following alignment . Then comes a CP "WYSIWYG HTML". Please have a look at the result.
