Double clicking text box no longer re-sizes to fit content?

Lately, I'm having a lot of trouble with text boxes not resizing when I double click on them. I'm not sure if this has something to do with threaded text with columns (and column breaks) but this is really frustrating.

Have I missed something? Is this how it's supposed to work? I don't feel like I was restricted by this in earlier versions?

-Just updated to CC19 on Mac and I'm still having the problem.

Works on my Mac with InDesign CC 2019.

If I double-click on a corner bounding box point, the Frame fits the type, both width and height.

Side bounding box points resize just the width.

Top and bottom bounding box points resize just the height.

was that with columns and column breaks?

Yes, works even with Breaks.

Only thing I can think of is are your Hidden Characters showing? If not, turn them on. Are your Column Breaks in the same line as the last line in the column or in the next line. It can make a difference.
