Edit metadata: Text alignment on lists in WYSIWYG editor

[ownedbycats]

Calibre 5.14* (x64, run from source)

Here's a list for testing purposes:
<div>
<p style="font-weight: 600">The Ultimate Kite Book</p>
<ul><li>A glorious, lavishly illustrated guide to the exhilarating sport of kite flying</li>
<li>Full-color photographic catalog of classic and stunt kites</li>
<li>Easy-to-follow, step-by-step demonstrations of kite flying techniques, including basic manuevers for stunts</li>
<li>Instructions and patterns for making six different designs, from a simple sled to a more advanced box kite</li>
<li>The perfect introduction for beginners, as well as an invaluable source of information for the more experienced kite flyer</li></ul></div>

Selecting the list in the WYSWIG editor and selecting an alignment destroys the <ul> and <li> tags.

However, applying a list to already-aligned text produces proper <li align="alignment"> tags.

This doesn't seem intended.

Thank you!
