Nope, the thing is that the label is middle aligned, and the widget of the 
capacity bar is the capacity bar and the label under it, all in a whole. For 
that reason, it places the left label at that point, it is middle centered 
with the other widget (bar + space + label).

The only thing you would need to "fix" this would be to place the left label 
with top alignment, but probably it wouldn't look centered with the bar 
itself, since it would depend on the font size.
