Subject: [PATCH] M7: align a one-row paragraph across the column it sits in

Centring one highlighted line of a paragraph moves it out of the
paragraph's rows, so the next alignment of it saw a one-row paragraph
and aligned it in its own box: Left left it where it was, and since a
single row grows to the page's margin, each Centre moved it further
right. An alignment for a one-row paragraph is now laid out across the
column of text it sits in (the left edge the page's other text uses, to
the furthest right those rows reach), or its own box when no column
holds it.
