Decoupling textboxes from their content and format

Post by Balmung » Sun Apr 04, 2021 12:20 pm

For some use cases I want to resize the textbox of a label to specific width and height, without changing the content or format. I looked for it in the app and the help document, but it seems it's impossible right now.
System information:
  • Windows 10 Professional x64
  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT
  • 32GB DDR4 RAM
  • Nvidia GeForce 3070 FE

The text for a label is drawn onto its own layer, not into a text box. The box around the text is just a selection indicator that’s fitted to the size of the item (and for the Transform tool lets you resize/rotate the text). If you want it to have extra lines, you can hit Enter.
