Add the ability to a Vertical Center a Rectangle text element in a layout.
Currently the Vertical alignment is disabled (BUG-000121263), it seems the eyeballing the Offset Y is currently the only option to try and Vertically Center text.
My goal is recreating the following layout. Having the Vertical alignment would allow a second line to added in seconds, instead of trying to readjust the Offset Y. Border and background added to Rectangle text element
Thank you for posting. I am astounded that the market leader in desktop GIS does not provide a simple way to align text in a box. It results in a lot of eyeballing in layouts which can look very unprofessional and I often end up using another application to do things properly.

Would also love to see ESRI address this. We have plenty of use-cases where we need dynamic text in map series to be aligned to the bottom of a text frame. The fact that we can't do this in Pro in version 3.1 is sort of baffling.
