Textbox Property - Do Not Autofit does not seem to be working

Hey Lauren!
Thank you for your reply!
I'll try to clearify my issues.
I do totally understand the process of upgrading the project text, the backup-version and the possibilities of the configuration of text, before and after the upgrade. The HOW is clear, but I dont understand the WHY.
My question is apart from the understanding of the 'upgrade'. It even doesn't matter if I work with the 'normal' or the 'upgraded' text.
And to be honest I think I also got the how but not the why, in this case..
As mentioned in this old article, I have to take care, that my textbox is large enough to show all possible lengths of my text, without resizing the text.
But that keeps me from using 'shape fill' as bg-color for the textbox (f.e.), if I dont want to have large spaces with color for no reason.
I was hoping, that the 'upgraded' autofit-property 'Expand height' could solve this. But it still renders the size of the textbox once, when the (published) document is created and if the content of the variable changes, the size of the surrounding textbox stays the same.
Or maybe I am missing something?!
