I can still reproduce this bug when only using one single word (v.2.92)

2.92 doesn't contain the fix.

Please check if this is fixed in 1 of the recent daily builds.

This bug has not been fixed in 3.0.0

Can you explain in detail what you expect and what you get? I'm trying to redo the bug and this feature is working as I would expect.

rB83d9ba341e5a31c9edaae00786e8b461c62d5c5f resolved the bug that the text need to have word-wrapping for scale-to-fit to be used. Which as you noticed, word wrapping isn't applied when there are no spaces.

Beyond this, I'm not sure what you mean when you say it's not fixed, can you give details?

Well if i follow the procedure given above the scale to fit option doesn't work let me show you:
when i try to impose dimensions on my text box and i have a single word written it doesn't scale to fit


as soon as I add a space between the two words the scale to fit option works:

Maybe I didn't understand the bug in the first place and, in this case is there any ways to word wrap a single word ?

Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) added a comment.EditedJan 21 2022, 2:22 PM

This requires the box to have a non-zero Y height, not part of this report or the sample file.

Could you report a separate bug please?
