Can't make the single line font vertical center.

I have a single line text, as the picture you can see,

font-family: Segoe UI;

font-size:42px;

default line-spacing:56px;

default height:56px;

default type: point text;

Now, I want this text become 42px height, so I set the line-spacing to 42, nothing happened.

Then, I changed the text from point text to area text, and changed the height to 42px

As you can see, can't make it vertical center.

How can I get a single line text with 42px height and vertical center?

Adobe. You say that we should request features (that should be available out of the box) but after 5 years and many comments and votes - still nothing! https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/13025094-vertical-alignment-of-text-in-text-box
