Description:
Writer lacks Adapt feature: Fit Height to text/ Fit Width to text in position and size dialog 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. Insert a textbox
3. Format -> Textbox and shape -> Position and size -> Position and size tab. No Adapt: Fit Height to text/ Fit Width to text feature. 
4. Do the same in Draw. There is a Adapt: Fit Height to text/ Fit Width to text feature. 
5. Copy/paste the TextBox from Draw to Writer. Adapt: Fit Height to text/ Fit Width to text feature does function (with some drawing glitches, I admit)

Side-note: 
I'm getting headaches/ can't wrap my head around this

In case of textbox, there following settings

A) Format -> Textbox and shape -> Position and size -> Position and size tab with  
Fit Height to text/ Fit Width to text; and

B) Format -> Textbox and shape -> Text Attributes -> Text tab with option Drawing object Text Fit Width to text; Fit Height to text


In case of Rectangle shape (custom shape)


A1) Format -> Textbox and shape -> Text Attributes -> Text tab. Now we have Resize shape to fit text. Which does deliver the same result as A in the Textbox case. Dialog with familiar look and feel, but offering total different settings 

B1) Format -> Textbox and shape -> Position and size -> Position and size tab with  
Fit Height to text/ Fit Width to text being disabled setting

It smells like some unfinished project
