feat(authoring): auto-resize text boxes to fit their text - #534
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe authoring editor now autofits textbox height after text changes and property renames. Text wrapping supports oversized words and atomic property chips. Cursor movement handles trailing whitespace and normalized positions at wrapped word breaks. ChangesAuthoring text behavior
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Auto-resizing can corrupt the display and editing behavior of emoji or other astral characters, while some automatic size changes may not be captured by undo or saved reliably. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness and persistence issues are addressed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

captures the previous components and routes both mutations through the shared
history operation, emitting the corresponding historyEvents update instead of
only calling setComponents(next). Preserve the existing property synchronization
and textbox fitting behavior while ensuring autosave schedules modifyScene and

- Line 176: Update generateOffsets and pushBrokenSpan so wrapping never splits
UTF-16 surrogate pairs or grapheme clusters, while retaining startIndex and
charOffsets in UTF-16 coordinates. Ensure the ref.text.slice call used to create
each VisualSpan advances end to a valid code-point or grapheme boundary when a
character does not fit.

Record property-triggered textbox changes in history.
syncPropertyChips mutates component.document, and fitTextBox(component) mutates its bounds. This effect only calls setComponents(next), so it emits no historyEvents update. Autosave does not schedule modifyScene, and undo does not capture these changes. Capture the previous components and route both mutations through the shared history operation.

Do not split UTF-16 surrogate pairs.
generateOffsets and pushBrokenSpan index ref.text by UTF-16 code units. When an astral character does not fit, end = start + 1 can make line 176 create a VisualSpan containing one unpaired surrogate. Text.tsx may render a replacement glyph, and cursor and selection logic can expose a position inside the visible character.
Wrap at code-point or grapheme boundaries. Keep startIndex and charOffsets in the existing UTF-16 coordinate space.
