When Fit Box by Text Content is executed on a rotated text box, the position is not as expected.

[rakunavi]

Hello all,

I have noticed that when Fit Box by Text Content is run after rotating the Textbox, the fitting process is based on the position before rotation, so the result is not what the user expects. Maybe this has already been posted somewhere in the forum, but I thought I would let you know for reference. See the animated GIF video for more details.

• sample.zip

1. Using page 1 of the sample file, apply Fit Box by Text Content to the rotated text box. Looking at this part alone, you would be confused as to why it would be moved to that position after fitting.
2. Then use page 2 to show the result of applying Fit Box by Text Content to the rotated text box, returning it to its original 0 degrees, then applying Fit Box by Text Content and rotating it 90 degrees again. Knowing that the results on the first and second pages match should solve the mystery about the post-fitting position that was felt on the first page.
3. Pages 3 and 4 are both explanatory. If "Fit Box by Text Content" was applied to the text box on page 3, many users would probably expect the results on page 4.

Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you so much for your continued support.

Best regards,
rakunavi

Hello rakunavi,

Once again many thanks for the detailed description.
I will ask our UI devs to take a look and advise if this is the expected behaviour, and if not we will make the necessary ticket to fix it!

Kind regards,
