    Hi Julia!

    The Text Autofit enhancements were built to make it easier to control how text fits in its bounding box and make it accessible. You can read the additional benefits here.

    I'll share your feedback with my team and notify you if changes are made to this feature that will provide an option to opt out.

      Hi,

      I have to respectfully say that the "feature" makes using the program
      almost untenable. Previously, you just opened a box, put in your text and
      resized as you liked. Now, you have to keep clicking and moving things and
      making sure there isn't an extra space, or row otherwise there is a scroll
      bar. It is slowing me down so much. I tried to revert to an old version but
      the project I'm working on wouldn't open in the old version b/c it was
      created in the new. It is AWFUL.
