The properties "Align" and "Alignment" serve different purposes.

This IMO can be achived by Align=alRight. Automatic dependencies between 
Align and Alignment may cause other trouble, so that I'd leave it to the 
human designer to set both independently. (numbers, RTL/LTR reading...)

Lazarus offers more sophisticated anchoring than Delphi does.

There exist more issues, e.g. right aligned text may be truncated at the 
right, when the Width is too small. This may be proprietary to Windows 
widgets (listview...), though.
