--- Comment #8 from stragu <stephane.guillou at member.fsf.org> ---
Still (partially) reproducible in 7.2, but I will try to clarify what is going
in here.

First of all, note that in 7.2, the Default Drawing Style has the following
options on by default in the "Text" tab:

- Fit height to text
- Word wrap text in shape
- Resize shape to fit text

When creating a rectangle and adding some text to it, it has the style "Default
Drawing Style". (You can confirm that with right-click on the shape > Edit
Style...)

So, to start with, it seems that a rectangle with some text in it doesn't
follow the default style's options by resizing it to the text.

(The issue with "Fit width to text" seems to be that it is ignored entirely in
all cases, which should probably be a separate bug. I am ignoring it here, and
only focusing on "Resize shape to fit text", to keep things as simple as
possible. It needs further investigating.)

Updated steps for LO 7.2.0.4:

=== Steps to Reproduce ===

0.  Restore everything to factory settings
1.  Open LibreOffice Draw
2.  Start with a new document
3.  Draw two rectangles on the page
4.  Add text to both rectangles, e.g. "apply style" for the first one, and
"modify style" for the second one. Notice that the rectangle does not adapt to
the size of the text (even though that is the default in the style).
5.  Open "Styles" sidebar
6.  Create two styles:
   a)  Right-click on "Default Drawing Style" and create New style named
"resize on". Click "OK" (it is a copy of the original).
   b)  Right-click on "Default Drawing Style" and create New style named
"resize off". Untick "Resize shape to fit text". Click "OK".
7.  Select first shape on page
8.  Double-click on "resize on" style: nothing happens, it still doesn't shrink
to the size of the text.
9.  Double-click on "resize off" style: nothing happens, as expected. However:
10. Double-click on "resize on" once more: now, the shape shrinks to the text.
The option needed to be off in the style applied first, before being taken into
account when turned on!
11. Now onto the _modification_ of the default style: modify the Default
Drawing Style by unticking "Resize shape to fit text", click "OK". The second
shape does not change, as expected.
12. Modify the Default Drawing Style again by turning "Resize shape to fit
text" back on, click "OK". The second shape still does not shrink to the text
size.
13. However, if you apply the style "resize off" to that second shape, and then
turn on "Resize shape to fit text" in the "resize off" style, you'll see it
does shrink to the size of the text.

=== Conclusion ===

So, trying to summarise in one sentence: the style setting "resize shape to fit
text" is not taken into account _until_ it is turned off by applying a
_separate style_ that has it off.

I hope I was able to summarise accurately in this comment...
