Is this a bug? Fit2Content with text-box-auto-adjust

Question

Hello,a collegue came in and asked about this:She has a textbox. When she changes text point size to 100, the box is empty and the overflow icon is showing. To adjust the text box to its content, she now double-clicks on the lower-right corner of the textbox – seems that the fit frame to conten-function is activatated that way. Now the text visible, the overflow is resolved, the textbox got adjusted to fit the text' size.But:If you set your textbox to auto-adjust:width (german client here, hope my translation is correct for that feature, screenshot below), the fit to content doesnt work anymore, but should. The later feature auto-adjust doesnt seem to blend in with fit2content very well. But Im moaning for years now about the crappy fit 2 content, which never worked with rotated images and cuts content.

I simply dont get why this state of fit2content could have passed Adobes requirements again and again. I want to understand, how this is handled, because dragging that bug (and I think the textbox-auto-adjust is building on that bug, inheriting the subpar behaviour) for years simply shows Adobe doesnt care: "Meh. Not fit2content again, didnt we revised that 2005? Lets do something more flashy for CC18!". Yes, there are a lot of construction sites, but before implementing new features every version, I would fix my core, not to be embarassed.

…Buuuuut, today its friday and the sun is shining in germany, so no bad feelings this workday, …soon to be over – half day off (AM11:45), BBQ time!

Hi Jan,

yes. Today in Germany will be the hottest day in April in written history :-)

( And April's not over yet. )

About Fit-to-Contents :

Old bugs are very hard to fix. The developers we have today are not the ones of the days when the feature was introduced.

And about fixing bugs: With CC 2018.1 the current developers did a fantastic job regarding bug fixing:

March 2018 (13.1) release of InDesign CC Release Notes

Of course, there is an awful amount to do regarding fixing old bugs…

Regards,
Uwe
