I'm not exactly sure why and when this happens. For example, in this
case I had to increase the magnification for this effect to manifest
itself. But the point is that the query line is centre-justified,
rather than being right-justified.

Maybe this doesn't happen when the font is smaller, but I am quite
short-sighted.
