Description Callegar 2023-08-29 18:18:58 UTC
Description:
The new Autofit-text implementation in LibO 7.6 has some regressions wrt the previous one:

1. If you have a list with bullets, etc in an autofit text box, then the bullets alignment with the text is often lost;

2. The text often does not reach the bottom of the text box. This becomes unpleasant when you have two text boxes side to side and you would like to see their bottoms aligned.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a text box in impress.
2. Put a list into it, with bullets
3. Select autofit and reduce the box size

4. create another text box on the side of the previous one
5. put some text into it
6. select autofit
7. reduce the box size so that the bottom of the box is aligned to the bottom of the previous box 

Actual Results:
At point 3, the bullets may lose the alignment with the corresponding text.

At point 7, the two boxes get filled differently: the bottom of the text in the two boxes does not align.

Expected Results:
The bullets should stay aligned with the text and there should be a way to assure that the autofit "fills" the boxex to their bottom.

The instructions are somewhat unclear. Better would be to take a screen recording and attach it.

I notice the font size gets smaller when I reduce the height of the box beyond the height of the list. Is this about that behaviour?
