I didn't know the patches would work independently, but shouldn't 
matter.  In any case, I think what you are seeing may be what it's 
programed to be.  The key should be "rotating" about the position (-5,1) 
with the various alignments.  Would it help to have crosshairs at the 
point (-5,1)?  (I'll send PNG examples.)...  I can see the behavior may 
not match as expected; 'left', 'right', etc. take on slightly different 
meaning based on the presence of <position>.
