Okay, I took a look at this. It would require a bit of work to parse the current selection if it contains more than one Block_Level_Tag and loop through the selection pieces one by one. This will not be an easy fix but should be doable in the longer term.

But there is a rather easy workaround using PageEdit. Assuming PageEdit is set up as your External XHTML Editor in Sigil Preferences, you can navigate to the page (or the opf if you want to handle the entire book) and hit the icon.

In PageEdit select all contiguous paragraphs at one time and hit the alignment button you wish. Then exit out of PageEdit saving your changes back into Sigil.

PageEdit is quite safe for making simpler edits like this and should not cause difficulties later.

Thanks,
