What does auto-width text mean in Figma?
Auto-width text means the text box width adjusts automatically to fit the text content on a single line. The height stays fixed, so the text won't wrap to a new line.

What happens when you set text to auto-height in Figma?
Auto-height text means the text box width is fixed, but the height changes automatically to fit all lines of text. The text wraps inside the box if it’s too long for one line.

Which text resizing mode would you use for a button label that should never wrap?

Why is auto-height text useful for paragraphs in Figma?
Because it fixes the width and lets the height grow, so paragraphs can wrap naturally and the box expands vertically to fit all text.

How does auto-width text affect layout responsiveness?
