Relative placement shapes in appearance panel
When you use shapes in appearance panel and save to reuse, then the look you get is depending on the text you type in as these shapes move in relation to the text. If I want to have a square that does not move with the text but at the beginning of text, no matter how long text, then that is impossible. Would be great with more options and fix regarding all this with shapes in appearance panel.

You refer to the Convert to Shape: Rectangle effect, don’t you?
It has an ability to change the size form relative to absolute. It seems like it does exactly what you want, but I ma not sure, because this option is hard to miss... Perhaps something else then?
Can you show the case you want to use this for, to elaborate on the problem? What it the goal of this change and how does it differ from what the Absolute Size option does?
