Fit frame to text WIDTH (not just height)
When working with text in a text frame, we have the FIT FRAME TO CONTENT button that collapses the frame height to the minimum height required to fit the existing text. That's great, use it all the time, but it doesn't collapse the width at all.
It would be nice if there was also a checkbox/option or different button that would also collapse the text frame's WIDTH to the width of the longest line.
This would make it quick and easy to distribute spacing between a bunch of little text boxes aligned in a row. Right now I have to manually adjust the width of every box by eye, then distribute the space between. Which is imprecise and time-consuming.

I can't understand the logic of fitting the frame horizontally only when there is one line of text. Very often, I'll end up with a skinny list of bullets or other text in a large text frame that I want to auto fit vertically.
