Comment:

 I believe this is a result from a tradeoff. The choices are either to
 align center multiple images or maintain center alignment when image
 caption is added. Since captions are more common, that got priority.

 Don't think we can change this for all images without breaking the current
 behaviour for captions, or the current styling in many themes that expect
 `img.aligncenter`.

 It seems possible to look at the selection when processing the click on
 the "Align center" button and add inline style when there are more than
 one images selected. If this is added, will need to determine what the
 best behaviour would be when caption is added to one of these images.

 For now the easiest workaround is to click in the `p` in the element path
 (at the bottom of the editor, shown when the toolbar is expanded) and then
 click the "Align center" button.
