I think it's a good opportunity to test and fix all other `Pos.values()`

Actually, it looks like this use case of setting a long text on TextField with 
alignment *other than* LEFT is broken.  Here is it for TOP_CENTER which also is 
incorrect:

I might recommend using the tester to enumerate all the cases where the initial 
text position is incorrect and fix it as a part of this ticket.  We could also 
modify the test to cycle through all the possible values of `Pos.values()`.

What do you think?
