1) Treble clef template
2) Insert a vertical frame
3) Add Title

Unexpected result: the box and cursor appears "on" the frame border.

And when written, the Title touches the border.

Is it really the intended result?

  • With the 2.3.2, the result is as excepted: box and title inside the frame.

It depends on margin settings of the frame, so play with text frame properties. Maybe, we need to adjust default values for the text frame to be consistent with 2.3.2 behavior...

I suspect this has to do with bounding box for text being calculated as a "tight" box, meaning it is relative to the tallest character actually used, not the nominal height of the font overall. It's generally a good thing when it comes to automatic placement (to avoid false detection of collisions) but maybe not so good when calculating vertical alignment.
