Please don't change this - it will break numerous code.

The reported behaviour is compatible with Delphi. What do you think are 
the additional x,y parameters good for? Delphi (and Lazarus) interprets 
them as the starting point of the text in the case where Layout is tlTop 
and Alignment is taLeftJustify, no matter what the Rect parameter is 
(which is used a clipping rectangle, though). God knows why x,y are not 
interpreted as an offset to the positions defined by Layout/Alignment 
directly.
