Add "Resize Objects" option to to block diagram toolbar

Status: New

I sometimes need to add (paste) text documentation to the block diagram. This often results in a single line of text that can stretch, as a single line, for what seems like miles off to the right of the text-block insertion point.   I then need to make multiple drag-edge/shift-block/repeat adjustments to beat the text block down to something that will fit on the screen.   It would be nice to instead be able to select the text block and either specify a width or else say to make it the same width as something else on the block diagram.

 

Scroll bars in text blocks would be nice too, as long as I am wishing.

Another possible solution: Resize / Move Free Label While Typing

Looks like lots of room for size and other options

It's not just text. I probably reach for that toolbar button in a BD once every two weeks or so before realizing it's not there.
