Description jx5x2hk7 2025-04-29 16:20:36 UTC
Description:
Vertical size changes on a frame template only apply if the size increases. If you decrease the vertical size, the affected frames will not update, regardless if you clicked Apply or OK when saving the the frame template changes. You can "workaround" this by selecting a frame and then apply another frame template, then re-applying the desired frame template.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two frame templates with different sizes
2. Create two frames, and apply one frame template to each
3. Edit one of the frame templates, and increase the vertical size
4. Observe that the frame to which it applied automatically updated (normal)
5. Edit the same frame template, and decrease the vertical size
6. Observe that the frame to which it applied did not change, i.e. did not shrink (abnormal)
7. Select the frame in question and apply the other template; then re-apply the first template
8. Observe that the frame in question updated to reflect the changes in #5 above (workaround)

Actual Results:
Frames do not automatically update when their frame template vertical sizes are decreased.

Expected Results:
Frames should automatically update when their frame template vertical sizes are decreased, just like they do when the vertical sizes are increased.


Reproducible: Always

Today I discovered that after closing/reopening the document, changes to the frame style dimensions no longer have ANY affect on the frames. That is, when I increase or decrease the horizontal or vertical dimensions, no changes are reflected. Other characteristics, such as border color, apply without issue.
