Point Type saved in CC Library?

Added "Point Type" to a "library". When I drag it back out it becomes "Paragraph Type". Umm… that's not what I want. Set another point type text object to "align right" and added it to the Library. When I drag it out it is Paragraph Type and the "Paragraph" rectangle nearly fills the artboard width. How can I save Point Type in a Library?

Click the + in the library and select Graphic.

Alt drag to new documents.

I don't understand why the text option does not seem to work, looks like a bug to me.

That works. Thanks @Ton Frederiks 

 

Edit:
Another frustration is that the library item is placed inside a "layer" with the same name as the text object. It is confusing because it appears to be a group by its appearance when opening its "Options" dialog but does not auto-delete when the contents is dragged out of it.

 

In fact, it IS a group because "Ungroup" works on it but the "group" remains as an object which is completely against AI standards (a group cannot exist without content).

Well, now I cannot reproduce the annomoly.
