Description Justin C 2017-01-19 20:03:25 UTC 
I actually tested this with version 5.3.0.2 [1].

[1]: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/rpm/x86_64/LibreOffice_5.3.0.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz

Bug #93135 fixed the "resize shape to fit text" property as it pertains to the **Format > Text...** menu item.  However, when enabling the same property on a style, the size of the shape remains unaffected under two scenarios:

1.  when "resize shape to fit text" is enabled in the style and then applied to the shape, and

2.  when the style is applied to the shape and then "resize shape to fit text" is enabled in the style.

The fubar nature of styles becomes more apparent when working with files saved in libreoffice 5.2.x, so I'm restricting the steps for reproduction to new files only.  A patch against the steps provided may not affect Draw documents created prior to the patch, and users may need to start a new document.


=== Steps to Reproduce (enable resize then apply style)

1.  Open LibreOffice Draw
2.  Start with a new document.
3.  Draw a square on the page.
4.  Add text to the square, e.g. "Hello world".
5.  Open "Styles and Formatting" sidebar.
6.  Right click on "Default" style and create New style named "Test".
7.  In Style Editor, select "Text" tab, then...
  a) Enable "Resize shape to fit text"
  b) Enable "Fit width to text"
  c) Click "OK"
8.  In "Styles and Formatting" sidebar...
  a) Select "Test" style
  b) Click the "Apply" bucket icon at the top (selecting this tool appears
     to be broken, you may have to select a shape on the page before you
     can use the tool).
9.  Click on the square on the page to apply the "Test" style to the square.
10.  Observe that the shape does not resize around the text:
  a)  immediately after applying the text, or
  b)  after editing the text, or
  c)  after resizing the shape manually.


=== Steps to Reproduce (apply style then enable resize)

1.  Open LibreOffice Draw
2.  Start with a new document.
3.  Draw a square on the page.
4.  Add text to the square, e.g. "Hello world".
5.  Open "Styles and Formatting" sidebar.
6.  Right click on "Default" style and create New style named "Test", and
    close the Style Editor Dialog.
7.  In "Styles and Formatting" sidebar...
  a) Select "Test" style
  b) Click the "Apply" bucket icon at the top (selecting this tool appears
     to be broken, you may have to select a shape on the page before you
     can use the tool).
8.  Click on the square on the page to apply the "Test" style to the square.
9.  Right click the "Test" style in the "Styles and Formatting" sidebar and select "Modify..." to open Style Editor Dialog.
10.  In Style Editor Dialog, select the "Text" tab, then...
  a) Enable "Resize shape to fit text"
  b) Enable "Fit width to text"
  c) Click "OK"
11.  Observe that the shape does not resize around the text:
  a)  immediately after saving the style, or
  b)  after editing the text, or
  c)  after resizing the shape manually.

=== Additional notes

- In some tests, I noticed that applying the "Test" style after enabling
  "resize shape to fit text" might update the height of the shape, but
  not the width, though I could not identify any steps from scratch that 
  reproduced this
  behavior.

Confirmed the settings do not seem to be doing anything. I noticed that these options have been greyed out in previous versions.

Retested with latest release of LibreOffice (6.0.4.2) as requested.

The second set of steps titled "Steps to Reproduce (apply style then enable resize)" now works for me.

The following steps still demonstrate the bug.

=== Steps to Reproduce (enable resize then apply style)

1.  Open LibreOffice Draw
2.  Start with a new document.
3.  Draw a square on the page.
4.  Add text to the square, e.g. "Hello world".
5.  Open "Styles and Formatting" sidebar.
6.  Right click on "Default" style and create New style named "Test".
7.  In Style Editor, select "Text" tab, then...
  a) Enable "Resize shape to fit text"
  b) Enable "Fit width to text"
  c) Click "OK"
8.  In "Styles and Formatting" sidebar...
  a) Select "Test" style
  b) Click the "Apply" bucket icon at the top (selecting this tool appears
     to be broken, you may have to select a shape on the page before you
     can use the tool).
9.  Click on the square on the page to apply the "Test" style to the square.
10.  Observe that the shape does not resize around the text:
  a)  immediately after applying the text, or
  b)  after editing the text, or
  c)  after resizing the shape manually.

Comment 4 Justin C 2018-06-25 15:34:55 UTC 
Tested again with LibreOffice Beta.

Perhaps I don't understand what the bucket tool in the Styles pane is for.  In LO 5.3, the icon was a bucket and the tooltip, if I recall correctly, was "Apply".  In LO 6.0 and 6.1 beta, the bucket icon is replaced with a Paint Brush and tooltip of "Fill Format Mode".  My expectation was that the tool would apply the selected style to any shape I later clicked on (allowing for a style to be quickly applied to multiple shapes), but the behavior of the tool suggests that might not be the case.  E.g.  "Fill Format Mode" is disabled until I select a shape on the page.

If I enable resize, then apply the style by 1) selecting the shape, then 2) double-clicking the style, the shape resizes to fit the text as expected.

=== Revised steps that work (enable resize then apply style)

1.  Open LibreOffice Draw
2.  Start with a new document.
3.  Draw a square on the page.
4.  Add text to the square, e.g. "Hello world".
5.  Open "Styles and Formatting" sidebar.
6.  Right click on "Default" style and create New style named "Test".
7.  In Style Editor, select "Text" tab, then...
  a) Enable "Resize shape to fit text"
  b) Enable "Fit width to text"
  c) Click "OK"
8.  Select the square with the select tool.  Resize handles should appear on
    the shape.
9.  In "Styles and Formatting" sidebar...
  a) Double-click the "Test" style to apply it to the square.
10.  Observe that the shape DOES resize around the text:
  a)  immediately after applying the text, or
  b)  after editing the text, or
  c)  after attempts to resize the shape manually.

Comment 8 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2021-09-07 01:15:55 UTC 
Still (partially) reproducible in 7.2, but I will try to clarify what is going in here.

First of all, note that in 7.2, the Default Drawing Style has the following options on by default in the "Text" tab:

- Fit height to text
- Word wrap text in shape
- Resize shape to fit text

When creating a rectangle and adding some text to it, it has the style "Default Drawing Style". (You can confirm that with right-click on the shape > Edit Style...)

So, to start with, it seems that a rectangle with some text in it doesn't follow the default style's options by resizing it to the text.

(The issue with "Fit width to text" seems to be that it is ignored entirely in all cases, which should probably be a separate bug. I am ignoring it here, and only focusing on "Resize shape to fit text", to keep things as simple as possible. It needs further investigating.)

Updated steps for LO 7.2.0.4:

=== Steps to Reproduce ===

0.  Restore everything to factory settings
1.  Open LibreOffice Draw
2.  Start with a new document
3.  Draw two rectangles on the page
4.  Add text to both rectangles, e.g. "apply style" for the first one, and "modify style" for the second one. Notice that the rectangle does not adapt to the size of the text (even though that is the default in the style).
5.  Open "Styles" sidebar
6.  Create two styles:
   a)  Right-click on "Default Drawing Style" and create New style named "resize on". Click "OK" (it is a copy of the original).
   b)  Right-click on "Default Drawing Style" and create New style named "resize off". Untick "Resize shape to fit text". Click "OK".
7.  Select first shape on page
8.  Double-click on "resize on" style: nothing happens, it still doesn't shrink to the size of the text.
9.  Double-click on "resize off" style: nothing happens, as expected. However:
10. Double-click on "resize on" once more: now, the shape shrinks to the text. The option needed to be off in the style applied first, before being taken into account when turned on!
11. Now onto the _modification_ of the default style: modify the Default Drawing Style by unticking "Resize shape to fit text", click "OK". The second shape does not change, as expected.
12. Modify the Default Drawing Style again by turning "Resize shape to fit text" back on, click "OK". The second shape still does not shrink to the text size.
13. However, if you apply the style "resize off" to that second shape, and then turn on "Resize shape to fit text" in the "resize off" style, you'll see it does shrink to the size of the text.

=== Conclusion ===

So, trying to summarise in one sentence: the style setting "resize shape to fit text" is not taken into account _until_ it is turned off by applying a _separate style_ that has it off.

I hope I was able to summarise accurately in this comment...
