  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:    After user changed the setting to    *
  *                      <setting name="fieldTextAlignment"      *
  *                      value="NO_SEGMENTING"/>,                *
  *                         some fields that were                *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
      When user modified the value of fieldTextAlignment from
  WORD_BY_WORD to NO_SEGMENTING in
      the source of project settings, the texts in some fields
  of subfile will shift to left. It
      caused the text alignment problem with numeric fields in
  subfile.
  

Problem conclusion

• When user set the value of fieldTextAlignment setting to
  NO_SEGMENTING, the leading spaces
      of string will be trimmed before it was rendered. This
  will cause the alignment problem in
      subfile. To solve this problem, the leading space should
  not be trimmed when fieldTextAlignment
  was set to NO_SEGMENTING.
