Description sdc.blanco 2020-10-10 14:24:57 UTC
To understand the question in bug summary:

1.  Insert (or select) a textbox (or shape).
2.  Right-click, choose Position and Size, Position and Size tab.
3.  At bottom of dialog box is the control:  "Follow text flow".

According to bug 137141, comment 6, this label should be: "Keep inside text boundaries" having the same function as "Keep inside text boundaries" as found on the Type tab in the Properties dialog both for Frame and for Image.  

Inspection of the source code seems consistent with that assertion.

Therefore the question:  Should "Follow text flow"  be changed to "Keep inside text boundaries" on Position and Size tab?

Bug 137141, comment 9 suggests getting UX input.

Don't remember a discussion neither find it in the minutes. Text flow was discussed in respect to page break on bug 134440.
