When applied, textAlignment depends on the TYPE of the VARIABLE BOUND TO the FIELD but not the data type of the field defined in the form file.
When set to a parent widget, textAlignment is not fully inherited by child widgets.
With ListBox, regardless of the textAligment value, text of the listBox items will be aligned as specified by SystemTheme.css:
