            Bug ID: 126625
           Summary: In Impress and Draw, the option "Resize shape to fit
                    text" when set in default style is ignored by new
                    shapes
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Have a good day community. This bug appears in both Impress and Draw but I
can't choose two components so I picked Draw. I want all my new shapes to
resize to fit the text inside. In order to do this I changed the default style,
in the "Text" tab, I turned on the checkbox "Resize shape to fit text". But
every single new shape ignores this setting, all of them come with the "Resize
shape to fit text" option turned OFF. The other options from the "Text" tab are
respected, for example the checkbox "Word wrap text in shape", or the "Spacing
to borders" numbers are respected by new shapes. What compelled me to file this
bug is that a person in another country with a different OS has the same bug
(he has Windows, I have Ubuntu). Here is the discussion that led me to post
this bug:

https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/202722/resize-shape-to-fit-text-gets-unchecked-when-creating-new-shape/

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Libreoffice Draw
2. Click the Styles button in the Sidebar
3. Right click the Default style
4. Click on Modify...
5. Click on the Text tab if it's not already selected
6. Turn on the checkbox "Resize shape to fit text"
7. Create a new shape, e.g. click the Flowchart button followed by a click in
the "Flowchart: Process" shape
8. Draw the shape in the page by click and drag 
9. Type a common word inside the shape, e.g. type "she"
10. Done, the shape does not follow the default setting of "Resize shape to fit
text"

Actual Results:
The shape retains the original draw size instead of resizing to fit the text
inside it. You can check the default setting to see that the "Resize shape to
fit text" is still turned on, while the same setting inside the shape is turned
off (you can check this by right click on the text inside the shape and then
selecting Text... the option appears turned off even though the default is
turned on)

Expected Results:
The shape should resize to fit the text inside, respecting the default style
setting


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
