The menu texts are really wrong. They should say "Align to the item on which context menu was called" or something shorter but yet descriptive. It's not an opinion, just plain simple logic. And there should be only two items, not 2x3 (every one in one group of 3 now do the same thing).

Or maybe there should be 2 x 3 align options: Align to Right, Align to Left, Align Vertically. (I'm not sure what "middle" and "center" were supposed to do). The left/right would work in the old way. And the same for top/bottom. At least the texts wouldn't be misleading, although what Align Vertically means would be left as homework for users.
