Descriptive Problem Summary:
I think somewhere along the line, the new beta version broke some aspects of maptext. I'm reporting this based on someone else reporting this issue to me, so sorry if it's a bit unclear.

Basically, I'm currently developing on 498.1158. In this version, all of my maptext appears fine and aligns well. Here's a screenshot of how it appears for me:

I've had two people tell me that the new beta version of BYOND causes an issue for them, where it looks like the align left tag is being ignored, causing it to look like this to them:

I'm pretty sure this is a BYOND issue since it works for me (I haven't updated yet, sorry! :x Waiting for stable.) but it causes an issue for them. I don't believe this was ever an issue before then.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
I'm going to show the way the maptext is in the code, if it'll help.
maptext={"<div align="left"><span style=\"font-size:7px;color:white;font-family:arial;\">[sk.name]</span></div>"}

(sk is just an obj with nothing special in the name)

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Seems to be every time for them.
In other games? Dunno.
In other user accounts? Dunno.
On other computers? Dunno.

When does the problem NOT occur?
When using 498.1158.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

I don't get the issue in 498.1158.
