What

It would help to have an option for specifying preferred alignment for drop-down menus created using the Navigation block.

Why

There was a recent update that led to drop down menus being left-aligned, instead of right.

That update isn't necessarily a bug, but it could affect sites like the one in 9589325-zd-a8c where the drop down menus became cut off.

Image

With this feature, the user would have been able to specify their preferred alignment (right) from the start and wouldn't be affected by subsequent updates. The feature also offers more design flexibility.

This isn't necessarily the same request, but having the ability to control text alignment on the Nav block would have helped the user in 9735420-zd-a8c
