Text alignment changes if layer is locked

Hi everybody. I'm developing some dynamic blocks and I found an issue. I tried searching for something already discussed but I found any.

I have a block with some text linked to selected size. In order to keep readability, since sizes can vary with length from  3 to 4 digits, I divided it in two parts (one for each dimension). Left part is alinged to the right, right part is aligned to the left.

To avoid issues and wrong manipulation with direct input of the text while using the blocks, I usually place text on a locked layer.

The fact is that if the layers are unlocked alignment works properly. When layer are locked both texts become aligned to the left. This way if the left part of the text goes from 3 to 4 digits it runs over the right part rendering it unreadable.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Don't divide it into two parts. You can have more than one field in an attribute. See the attached drawing
