Adjusting a text frame to fit the text
-
I'm having a difficulty automatically adjusting the size of the frame to the text. In Affinity apps, it's really very simple: just double-click on one of the "control" points of the text block (horizontal or vertical) and the frame is immediately adjusted to the content
I didn't find this feature in VS but there are so many options that it may be clearly visible and I don't see it
Thanks.

@Pat Type menu -> Fit Text Frame

@VectorStyler Thank you, this option was right in front of me and I saw it without seeing it
I knew it was possible in VS 
-
@VectorStyler A small glitch: after adjusting the frame to the text, the (+) sign seems to indicate that part of the text is hidden when it shouldn't be.
-
@VectorStyler Would it be possible to apply the same method in VS, double-clicking is super easy?

I will try to add this.

The double clicking on resize knob to fit text frame will be postponed after the 1.2 beta is out (maybe for 1.3). Tere is also horizontal resizing to fit the text, that would be a new feature.

@VectorStyler Thank you for informing us

@VectorStyler I've retested the paragraph styles and there's no problem with the ones I've set up, everything seems fine except for the 'Fit frame to text' option.
I added an identical inset for all sides and the frame didn't fit
so I applied the 'fit frame' option. The first time, VS crashed (crash report sent) and then the frame didn't fit properly.

I cannot replicate this issue with the latest build.
If there is an example file (at list for the fit frame part), please send it to me. Thanks!

@PatMay I make my request in relation to this?

I think it would be better to be able to select a reference point when fitting content.
For example, they could be the upper right or the bottom edge.
Currently, the entire frame shrinks with respect to the center of the frame. Therefore, the position of the text has to be modified again.2
It would be nice if the text frame option could be set how it fits.
For example, to the bottom, to the right, or to the bottom and right.
