I had similar issues with a UITextfield embedded in a UITableViewCell. Where exactly is this code located in your project? What I believe is happening is that after you've finished editing a particular textfield, it sends itself -setNeedsDisplay and its drawRect: is subsequently called. This might explain the shift in alignment. In my particular scenario, I had to use a table view delegate method -willDisplayCell... to set the content alignment. I would have to know more about your design to possibly offer a suggestion.

One potential solution would be to use the text field delegate methods to set the content alignment.

-(void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
     if (amountField == textField){
          amountField.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
        }
}
