Here's the script that roughly does what I need, at least visually:
Names Default To Here( 1 );
New Window( "Example",
Graph Box(
Pen Color("red");
Back Color ("Light Yellow");
Text Color( "red" );
Text( Boxed, Erased, {20, 85}, "MyTextHere" );
Text( Boxed, Erased, {20, 75}, "AnotherTextHere" );
)
);
And I need several labels styled just like that.

But I need them left justified - and they are center justified in this image.
There is no separate "Left Justified" - it should be like that by default. But as soon as you include "Boxed" - it becomes Center Justified.
The script in the manual (https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/19.0/#page/jmp/add-text.shtml#) has this:
mytext = New Window( "Adding Text",
Graph Box(
Frame Size( 200, 200 ),
Y Scale( 0, 15 ),
X Scale( 0, 10 ),
Text Size( 9 );
Text Color( "blue" );
Text( {5, 1}, "Left Justified" );
Text( Center Justified, {5, 2}, "Center Justified" );
Text( Right Justified, {5, 3}, "Right Justified" );
Fill Color( 4 );
Rect( 5, 8, 9, 5, 1 );
Text( Erased, {6, 6}, "Erased" );
Text( Boxed, {6, 10}, "Boxed" );
Text( Clockwise, {4, 10}, "Clockwise" );
Text( Counterclockwise, {3, 5}, "Counterclockwise" );
)
);
and according to the manual it produces this plot:

While if I run it on my JMP I see this:
![2026-09-22 16_27_47-Adding Text - JMP [2].png 2026-09-22 16_27_47-Adding Text - JMP [2].png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/118046i13D18DD99284A130/image-size/medium?v=v2&px=400)
The Boxed text becomes Center Justified.
Is this a bug? Any way to fix this? I do need boxed and erased style to preserve feel and look when switching from Text Annotations to the Graphics Script.
The reason I switch from Text Annotation to Graphics Script is to be able to refresh those labels on redraw - for instance, after Automatic Recalc. Is there a way to do that on Text Annotations, or do I have to switch to Graphics Script?
