Encountering a strange issue here: I have a node style that I have been using for many flow-charts. It's base has always been in the exact center of the shape, but now i'ts been translated up about 1/4 toward the north anchor. The blue and red lines clearly show it's moved north, but the diamond's base is still in the exact center. What gives?

.basedenotes the baseline of the node, the first line's base to be exact. Try.center. – Qrrbrbirlbel Sep 13 '12 at 19:34matrix of nodesuses to position them) of theaction/rectangleare off. I want to figure out why they are not lining up like they used to (with thecenters aligned). – blitzvergnugen Sep 13 '12 at 19:37baseanchor will remain unaltered whether you have one line of text or add more lines of text in a node; in your case, it's not the base anchor that has shifted; the anchor remained unaltered, but you added more lines of text. – Gonzalo Medina Sep 13 '12 at 19:39matrixwhere I have aaction&test(from my styles) side by side and theircenters are on the same y-coordinate. – blitzvergnugen Sep 13 '12 at 19:44nodes={draw,anchor=center}in the matrix specification to align them all. – Qrrbrbirlbel Sep 13 '12 at 19:44
