Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2011-10-21 06:18:22 UTC 
new gnumeric
C3: "Hello World"
make sure the width of column C is less than the length of "Hello World"
select C3
Format->cell->format->alignment
choose "Wrap Text" okay
decrease the height of row 3
note that the content of row 3 is aligned at the top
Format->cell->format->alignment
note that the cell content should be aligned at the bottom

Toggling the vertical alignment does not change anything. 

It seems that vertical alignemnt is only effective if the cell height is larger than the content. It should also affect the placement when it is smaller (as in the case of horizontal alignment).
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2011-10-21 07:04:27 UTC 
According to the code:
	case VALIGN_TOP:
		text_base = rect_y;
		break;

	case VALIGN_BOTTOM: {
		int dh = height - rv->layout_natural_height;
		if (rv->rotation == 0 && dh < 0)
			dh = 0;
		text_base = rect_y + y_direction * dh;
		break;
	}
this behaviour seems to be desired!

Is this a case of "Excel behaves like this"?

This is Excel compatible, for whatever that's worth.
