The grid lines up controls' positions, not contents.
There is no concept in wxPython of internal control text alignment.

If you want to adjust a control's position on a pixel level, hold down
the Ctrl key and move the control with the cursor keys.

To move more than one control at a time, hold down the Shift key to
select multiple controls.

There is no such a control by default, this is a common request, I'll
see if I can add this to Boa as an example component (time permitting)

I've now added this :)
It's called StaticTextCtrl and it's on the 'User' Palette.

When you have a multiple selection, you may right-click and select
Align...

No, not for standard controls.
