#1025 Multicell issue

[Richard]

The behaviour of MultiCell with fitCell set to true, is somewhat unexpected. In this case, when h=0 and maxh is, for example 100, the height of the cell will always be 100, even if the text would easily fit within a height of 50.

Is this by design or might it be labelled a bug?

I would expect the cell to automatically expand to 50 (because h=0). If the text is too long to fit within a height of 100 (maxh), then fitCell would try to decrease the fontsize.

Please provide a test case. Bug reports without a simple test case will be closed.

Hi Nicola,

I attached a test case.

Thanks!

This is happening because you are using the fitcell option.
When $fitcell is true $maxh and $h must have the same value.

So, if I understand this correctly, there is no way to have the cell extend automatically if needed, when fitcell is set to true?
