Resize Title text-holder without messing object positions

Hi, I'm using a "lower third" template (basically a title object)... The text I'm entering is a little bit longer than text holder, but when I resize it (using mouse), the background objects move to whatever place. Is this a bug or am doing something wrong?

Hi

Neither - that is the default behaviour of some of the title templates.

To get round it you need to ungroup the title object components and resize them individually. When adjusting a component it may help to mute the components not being adjusted, excluding the text.

Ensure that in the Title dialog Adjust font size to fit title field is unchecked.
