This is not so much as bug as it is unintentional support for centering in the first place. I've talked with Jacques about this before about whether we should move away from markdown to being a "full" WYSIWYG editor which is more along the lines of what Medium offers. Markdown is definitely simpler and more compact, but doesn't have native definitions for features such as "center align this content." We've already moved away from expecting users to write posts with markdown themselves and instead now have a rich editor which was essentially a step in this direction. With how popular blogs have been, this may be something we should consider doing sooner than later. I'll bring it up at our next meeting.
