Shouldn't science packs be centered in lab? (alt-mode)

Looks strange (especially in space age that adds more packs), probably not a bug.

I have to say I prefer it this way. Once you have two or more science packs inside your labs and some labs are running out of individual science packs and are resupplied, you can see the missing packs flicker.
In 1.1 this flicker would cause the size of the science packs to change from frame to frame so that the present one be big and centered.
Now that each science pack has its dedicated position in alt-mode you will not see a jump from "one big red science pack" to "one small red and one small green" science pack. Each of them stays small and you only see the missing one flicker in and out.

Side note: You can easily verify that each science pack has a dedicated position if you load only a green one into a lab without a red one present.
