Q: auto fit text in text block

I use to be able to have the text auto resize based on the content in the text block. This no longer seems to be a feature that is available. Anyone aware of what happened or why this has been eliminated.

    There is a feature called "shrink text to fit" where text changes size in proportion to the size of the text box.

    Shrink text to fit can be confirmed in Inspector > Text > Layout:
