Changes to Re-Sizing Text Box

[KimJ]

Loving some of the new changes that are rolling out!  However, I now have to zoom in before I can manually adjust the length of the text box - something I could do before at any view.   Now, I have to click the plus button two or three times to be zoomed in enough for the guides to appear that allow me to drag the sides.   Otherwise, it makes the entire box larger or smaller as well as changes the font size, which I don't want to do.  I just want to be able to adjust the text box to fit within the boundaries like previously without having to go through the extra steps, all while keeping the text size the same.   Thanks!

Yes, I'm having the same problem.

I am seeing the same issue... its a little frustrating.  I am finding that if I attempt to resize the text box lets say to keep a text box within the boundaries the usual move graphic handle to help you shift the box larger or smaller is not appearing. And because with each shift in an attempt to resize the box (since the move handle is not appearing) its making the entire box larger or smaller instead of simply resizing it horizontally.  Are you seeing pink color surrounding the text boxes when selected?  I have never seen this before... in addition to the box resizing issue. Have you posted this in the technical issues forum?

Hi, I did not post it there because it's technically not a glitch or a bug.  Just an annoyance.  🙂

yep, same problem. you have to blow it up quite big to get them.

Agreed - it's an additional step that adds frustration to the design process. I think we need the handles on all sizes of text boxes.

Plus, it would be SUPER helpful if there was a simple way to make the text box expand to the width of the design area - like to the green line. Sort of a "fit" feature for text boxes. That's not what you want in all cases, but I want it often enough to wish there was an easier way to do it.

Agreed definitely annoying.
