I'm unsure, but I think you're missing the point of my original submission. 
It's not a bug, so there's no failure to reproduce.  And, it's not a question
of whether the text area fills the shape by default, which it does.

My observation is that the text area box should be movable and resizable by
mouse and/or keyboard without having to resort to a context menu selection.

Currently, adjusting the text box position requires at least one and likely
multiple invocations of the Text Attributes dialog to get a desired spacing
effect.  My best example of the need for a new behaviour is the placement of
the text box on a connector between two vertically arranged flow chart
elements.  After placing the connector and double-clicking the connector to
enter text, the resulting text box appears centered over the connector.  I
resort to the Text Attributes dialog to move the text off the line.  If my
spacing value estimation is incorrect, I have to re-enter the dialog (another
right-click, select Text Attributes, change a value, click OK).

Just let the user click-drag the text box.

TBH, in version 7.6.2.1, I cannot reproduce the original text positioning
behaviour that forced me to adjust text placement on any multi-line flowchart
object text box.  The text box now appears better placed initially.

If you're discussing something else entirely, my apologies for interjecting
:-).
