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
