Symbol generation in Quartus 16

When I create a "Symbol Files for Current File" in Quartus 16 Prime Lite Edition the labels of the output pins do not line up anymore like in previous Quartus versions.

It's just a big mess. Only if the labels have the same number of characters, they line up again.

Also the symbols generated are much wider now and do not fit in the original schematic anymore.

Anybody with the same issue or better anybody who has a solution.

It's absolutely not workable as it is now.

    I'm having the exact same problem. I have some very large symbols on the top most block diagram, and these become an absolute mess when I change even the name of one pin. Then I have to re-edit by hand. Very annoying. In addition pin names now have a huge amount of trailing white space between the name and the pin, which is just stupid. I cannot edit the bounding box. Has anyone found a work around for this. I'm going back to Q15.1 it's so bad.

    While I'm at it the new icons are fuzzy and indistinct. What was wrong with the old ones?
