Feature description:
This is only applicable to the ‘Always X lines’ style of string formating, since the ‘At most’ will collapse down anyway.
Currently all custom strings print the text as top-justified. The text is always filled from the top of the text box. The current vertical alignment options affect the placement of the text box, but not the text WITHIN the box.
I would like the option to have the text printed as bottom-justified such that the text prints on the bottom line first. Then additional lines will push the previous text UP a line rather than continuing below.
Problem solved:
For many, having UI elements shift around the screen is undesirable. The ‘Always X lines’ styled string solves that problem while presenting a new one: any content which does not make use of the fixed size will leave a large blank space below it. Thus the user cannot have two text elements print text that is “close to each other” while maintaining a fixed UI element spacing.
Brought benefits:
Allows users to choose whether the blank space will be presented at the top (new behavior) or at the bottom (current behavior) of the text box element.

Additional description and context:
Pictures show an exaggerated example of two adjacent string UI elements. Both elements are set to a fixed four-line size.
Pic 1: current behavior, the two elements do not seem like a “group” of text due to the two-line gap.
Pic 2: desired behavior, the two elements appear visually “grouped” on screen since the two-line gap is now at the top, rather than the bottom.
