This is a minor request but would save some time when designing. I would like for the bounding box around labels and text boxes to auto resize to the smallest possible size when double clicking on the control handles. I usually just draw out a random sized label for example, enter my text then have to shrink it down manually in order to be able to do center alignments accurately. I know I can enter my text centered and not have any issues with alignments but this double clicking to resize the bounding box is a habit I picked up in MS Access I think and is hard to stop.
