Consider the first section Text Attributes dialog for text boxes. It says: Text ----------- Drawing Object Text: [ ] Fit width to text [ ] Fit height to text [ ] Fit to Frame IIRC, this used to be phrased more poorly, but regardless - this is still problematic: 1. This section does not control just the behavior of _text_ or the text _area_ - it also controls the height and width of the box. For this reason, it is incorrect to call it, twice, "Text > Drawing Object Text:" ; at least the secondary title should mention the box dimensions, e.g. "Text vs Box Dimensions" or "Text dimensions within box" etc. 2. What is the "frame"? We don't have "frames" in textboxes. The third item can't be labeled that way. 3. What is being fitted to the frame? The label doesn't say. If this section was really only about "Text", then - it would mean fit the text to the frame; but considering (1.), that will no longer be the case. So this should probably be named something like "Stretch text to fit shape dimensions" (as it doesn't even fit in the sense of enlarging. Or maybe "Stretch text to fit height & width"
This frame is shown for SdrObjKind::Text, TitleText, OutlineText, Caption, Edge, Line and hidden for CustomShape. It's not just a text box.

Fair enough, but if some labels in the dialog don't fit for text boxes, and do perhaps fit for other entities - then they should be made different depending on which object is under consideration.
The topic was on the agenda of the design meeting but did not receive further input. A similar discussion had been done in bug 114924 comment 2, which was eventually resolved WFM.

But - do you mean you didn't get to it? If you did, what did people in the meeting say? > A similar discussion had been done in bug 114924 comment 2, which was > eventually resolved WFM. I'll have a look. Reading your earlier comment, though: > This frame is shown for SdrObjKind::Text, TitleText, OutlineText, Caption, > Edge, Line and hidden for CustomShape. It's not just a text box. I think most of my points apply to most other objects.

While that discussion regards the same features, it's not a similar discussion; and that bug report is about what actions are available in the dialog, which is not what this bug is about. To re-emphasize: This bug is about the _phrasing_ of the labels in the dialog (and at the widest possible scope, if better phrasing does not suffice, perhaps some kind of reorganization or supporting illustration of the actions available.)
