OK. When I set up text in CorelDraw I usually prepare a text frame, then insert the text. Then if I need to change the text frame dimensions I change them using the normal top/side/diagonal arrows. The critical factor for me is that the text itself stays the same size. Ie the point size and height/width do not change.
If I do the same in Inkscape then the height and width of the letters changes with the frame and the text does not remain the same. I find this incredibly frustrating to the point that it is a real limitation on using Inkscape where text is involved. Xara behaves like this as well.
Is there a setting in Inkscape that enables me to have the text untouched during these frame changes? I guess I am looking for something like the scale change button that allows you to scale the line dimensions or not as the scale changes. It may be staring me in the face.

That's interesting. I'm sure that I just don't understand but what benefit is this to the user. If you add text to a frame that isn't big enough does the frame change in size or does the text get cut off like in Scribus, for instance? Is that how CorelDraw works? Just curious.
