Why isn't my text being presented at the center of the screen?

Why isn't it being presented at the center of the screen? (It is being displayed at the top center--so it is centered horizontally but not vertically). I'd be very grateful for your insight. Shona <text Political_item> /size = (75%, 75%) /items = Political_item /position = (50%, 50%) /valign = center /halign = center /select = noreplacenorepeat /selectionrate = always </text>

Observe the difference when defining <text Political_item> / txbgcolor = (red) /size = (75%, 75%) /items = Political_item /position = (50%, 50%) / hjustify = center / vjustify = center /valign = center /halign = center /select = noreplacenorepeat /selectionrate = always </text> all of which you can find documented in the language reference for the <text> element.
