Thank you, Don.

Reproduced in a recent master build:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: fc4f7db59152f606b6aa88cf32197700959d0f8b
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

And since columns in shapes were implemented:

Version: 7.2.0.0.beta1 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: c6974f7afec4cd5195617ae48c6ef9aacfe85ddd
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

I understand this has to do with the fact that text boxes have the setting "fit
height to text" on by default, which behaves unexpectedly with multiple
columns.

Mike, what do you think? I can see how users would expect the text to be
redistributed between columns when reducing the height even when "fit height to
text" is on (until it eventually runs out of space and actually blocks the
resizing).
The current behaviour is a bit unexpected and erratic (e.g. it sometimes is
possible to "push" a single line into the second column when trying to reduce
the height).
