Wait, the rectangle on the drawing toolbar directly, and the one in basic
shapes, are two different things? :-O

Anyway, both of them, and all other shapes.

I'd like to say all of them, but - perhaps the semantics are a bit hairy for
the weirder shapes: It may not be clear what "fitting" means.

Let's say all shapes with topologically connected interiors. And if we want to
be more lenient, let's say all convex shapes.

Of course, this issue also raises the question of why we have rectangular text
areas for non-rectangular shapes, and why shouldn't autofit change the text
area shape etc. but that's out-of-scope.
