Bug: Duplicated text frame does not reflow after resize
-
Version: 1.2.085 (macOS)
Problem
After duplicating a text frame, resizing the duplicate does not reflow the text using the new frame width.
Instead, VectorStyler applies an affine transform to the visible text:
• The text is scaled uniformly with the frame.
• The internal wrap width stays frozen at the original frame’s value.
• If the text previously wrapped, the wrapped region remains truncated — scaling does not reveal any hidden text.Expected
Resizing a text frame should recompute the text reflow based on the new frame geometry, not scale the contents. This is how InDesign, FrameMaker, Quark, and Acrobat behave for non-linked text frames.Why it matters
The current behavior exposes internal layout state and treats simple text as a graphical object rather than a typesetting container.Request
• Update the internal wrap width whenever the frame is resized.
• Optional: add “Reset Text Wrap to Frame” to manually recompute reflow.Steps to reproduce
1. Create a text frame with wrapped text
2. Duplicate it
3. Resize the duplicate
4. Text scales but does not reflow; wrap width remains the original width
