Padding in text boxes in Adobe XD.

[#1]

The text should be flush against the text box so that when design files are exported for development, the developer can get accurate padding values.

This is really problematic and almost defeats the purpose of the dev link if the values aren't measured from the edge of the text.

The text is flush against the text box in photoshop, why not XD?

We're in a space where we have to do two iterations of the layout. 

1) Design to the edge of the text so that we know what it should look like.

2)Before handing over, shift all copy blocks so that the dev link values exported, state what it should be despite it being optically incorrect. - very confusing for the developer

It's adding so much time to the process and isn't sustainable especially when it comes to designing detailed, text-heavy components
