Problem encountered editing Wikipedia December 12, 2012. SETUP: 1. Given a titled gallery with a captioned image (single image file in my problem case) 2. The gallery is centered by bracketing with <center> and </center> This results in the captioning text to also be centered (this is not unexpected). 3. Attempt to uncenter the captioning by bracketing the caption text with </center> and <center> UNEXPECTED RESULT: This results in the caption text appearing fully left justified using the page boundary rather than the gallery image box outer boundary. WORK AROUND (for this specific single image case): A.) Close the gallery with </gallery>after the gallery image title B.) Display the image file as a "thumb" of the appropriate width using the "centered" option. (This will not center the text, but note that the text may be centered explicitly by bracketing with <center> </center>) ALTERNATE WORK-AROUND (Also only for single image case): After closing the gallery Display the image file as a "wide image", these are automatically centered and default to left justified text. ADDITIONAL TESTS NOT PERFORMED: No attempt was made to check the case of multiple images with uncentered text, this should be part of the post-fix testing.
Thanks for taking the time to report this! If possible, please provide an example web address (URL) - that makes it easier to test/reproduce.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Leonard_G./sandbox Section "Demo Two" - this illustrates the problem Note that I am proposing the addition of <left>...<left> and <right>...<right> which would work similar to <center>...</center> Leonard
P.S. Additional whitespace is not my addition - it is an addtional error effect. Two work-arounds are shown, by using "thumb" and by using "wide image"
