Description Elmar 2018-12-04 08:58:18 UTC
Description:
Have had this problem as long as I can remember: if I set text to shrink to text box in Master, this is not passed on to slides

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start new presentation
2. change master to do text shrinking
3. (v6.3 does not do it in Master either - prev versions did)
4. create new slide
5. type lots of text


Actual Results:
text does not shrink
overflows the bottom of the slide
heading is messed up so that slides do not look consistent

Expected Results:
should shrink
Note: if tick fit to frame , then stretches text to plainly look strange 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
