Summary0009995: Crash on sizing font bigger than available space text box
DescriptionWhen increasing the first character in a text box larger than the available size in a text box the program crashes. Sizing any of the other characters other than the first character results in normal behaviour, the text is removed from the UI and a box with a red X appears at the bottom right of the text box, this is normal and expected. However if the first character is increased to the same size the program crashes.
Steps To ReproduceOpen (create) a new publication.
Create a text box - height enough for one line of text.
Double click in the text box and type some text.
Select the first character
In the properties dialogue go to the Text tab and either use the arrow icons to increase font size or directly type in a font size. Eventually the program will crash.
Additional InformationSome settings which will cause a crash

Text box dimensions: 75pt x 22pt
Font: Arial Regular - initially 12:00pt
On sizing to 19pt the program crashes.
TagsNo tags attached.

This issue happens in 1.4.0rc3 but does not happen in rc2 - I had a machine with rc2 still on it (Windows 7 Pro 64bit), I tried the steps as detailed above and all worked perfectly. I then installed rc3 on this machine and it now crashes every time I take the steps above.
