            Bug ID: 136066
           Summary: Text boxes misbehave when overfilled if 'fit height'
                    is disabled
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: pearfoot at gmail.com

Description:
A text box behaves unexpectedly if its 'fit height to text' attribute is turned
off. As excess text is typed the box appears to expand as though 'fit height'
was still enabled. However, if one clicks elsewhere and then clicks back in the
text box the size returns to its original and the excess text left 'hanging'
below the box itself.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a small text box
2. Use <Format><Text Box and Shape><Text Attributes> to remove tick from 'Fit
height to text'
3. Type sufficient lines of text into the box to overfill the box (it will
expand!)
4. Move cursor out of text box and click then click back into the text box

Actual Results:
Excess text is left hanging below the text box, still attached to the box but
not in it

Expected Results:
I expected the same results as if I had used a frame with 'Autosize' disabled
instead of a text box. In such a frame the excess text does not expand the
frame but an arrow shows to indicate there is such text.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
