(Get the code!)
I agree that the intuitive interpretation of "Align to Right" is that.
LibreOffice Draw does that. KiCAD used to do that (version 5.0 does that).
However, IMHO, the behaviour in KiCAD 5.1 is better in the sense that it is more flexible. Look at it this way: you can implement what 5.0 used to do with the functionality of 5.1; but you cannot implement the 5.1 behaviour with KiCAD 5.0
What I think is the problem in 5.1 (and the reason for my forum post + bug report) is the inconsistency between what the menu says ("Align to Right") with what the software does. For what it's worth, my vote is: leave the new behaviour, just adjust the menu text!
