AlignAuto is still mentioned on the docs

"Justifies the text in the available space. Does not work for everything and

Please remove it!

This doesn't seem to work. I tested like this:

       QApplication::setLayoutDirection(Qt::RightToLeft);
       QTextEdit *text = new QTextEdit(trUtf8("عربي ...");

and the text is still left aligned!
