System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1070 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 441.12

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.83.0, branch: master, commit date: 2020-06-03 14:38, hash: 211b6c29f7
Worked: 2.82a

Short description of error
Previously, Scale to Fit option in Text Box settings only started to scale text down once it reached the end of text box container. Now, it fits text in no matter how many or little characters there are, making text impossible to control in some scenarios. Single character will be way too big and there's no workaround as there's no property to place a driver with limits modifier.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Add a text object. Set text box X value to 3 for example. Type a single letter and text will scale up a lot. Type a lot of text and it will scale down. Text should be same size until it hits the boundary. Not to menition that this means no horizontal alignment is possible, as text is always centered and filling the whole box edge to edge.
