I think it's two issues. The rendering mode has been changed, you can 
revert this by setting
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['accessListRenderMode'] = 'singlebox'.

However, this doesn't change the order back to the 4-4 state. So I 
assume that is has sth. to do with the TCA refactoring.

It has always been this way. Maybe we can list the Section, in which the 
field is visible in between (so Columns could appear in Page Content: 
Image Alignment: Number of Columns). Nevertheless, with the ? it's now 
better than before.


Kind regards
