Thanks for capturing those tests.  It seems in your screen capture of your test file with correct alignment that the punctuation does not go any further right than any of the other text.  But, I think I'm using a setting called "optical margins" or something like that, which is designed to allow the punctuation to flow just a tiny bit past the right end of the page to make the whole page appear to be properly aligned.  I can hunt around for that and see if turning that off helps, but, I'd rather leave that setting turned on.  It seems that setting is working properly on other pages, and it's just page one where it's not working.

Pages two and three of the PDF do not show this problem.  Comparing pages one and three of the .sla I see that the right-hand text frames have the same width and the same x pos, so I don't know why only page one shows this problem.
