Description kampie 2025-08-26 09:15:36 UTC 
Description:
I have a text box with two columns with some text in it. I can make it bigger using the blue squares on the size , in both directions. However, shrinking is only possible in the horizontal direction and not in the vertical. This seems to me like a bug. 

When I change back to a single column, it works fine. 

using LibreOffice 25.8.0.4 on MacOS

Steps to Reproduce:
1. insert a text box with some text
2. make it multi-column (I use the Properties side pane) 
3. resize using the mouse

Actual Results:
resize of Text Box not possible in the vertical direction

Expected Results:
resize of Text Box possible in both directions


Reproducible: Always

If the column is extended, it is not possible to make it smaller again from down to top, but it is possible from right to left.
