There is an option to control the text sizing - "Text Height Correction" and "Text Width Correction". These values (in  twips) are the amount by which to increase the size of text boxes beyond that needed on the screen to account for scaling differences with printers that could cause some of the text to be hidden. If you find that parts of text are missing then increase the values.

Also, symbols with no tag but some user text were not autosizing .

ControlDraw carries out checks on the integrity of a model when opening or selecting in the File manager. Specifically it now checks that all the table fields, queries and relationships in the model are up to date with the latest structure. This can be switched off by deselecting "Check Model Structure on Opening" in Tools Utilities, but this is not recommended.
