If you notice, there's a box with white "grapples". This will be the box that the left/top/right/bottom/center is aligned to. This box can be chosen from those chosen by simply clicking on one of the boxes/controls you've selected.

In Foxpro, when you'd select multiple objects (Textboxes, etc.) and click the right, top, etc. align buttons they would always align the most left, the topmost, etc. object. This toolbar seems to work in the opposite direction.
