Match width variability and inconsistent length - bug?

Greg shared this question ago

Answered

I have 4 topics that I want to have the same width and all on one line.

All the permutations either squash up the topics or leave them unmatched.

Ask:

1/ It is not clear what the difference is between a branch and topics in the drop-down options. Can we have a consistent approach with the naming?

What I have:

What I want to be done - done manually:

What I get when I choose branches or topics under match width

To achieve what you require:

Click Format > Match Width > Reset all widths. (When I did this in your map it resets to the preferred topic size, which is the wrapped width)
Manually drag the right hand end of the longest topic (Accountable) to be the width you want. The widest topic is the reference for the others.
Select all the siblings in that group with a lasso and click Format > Match Width > Match Width for Selected Topics. This will set the width of all selected topics to match the longest.

A "branch" refers to a topic with subtopics and will adjust all the subtopics. In your map, the following are equivalent operations:

Selecting the four siblings (Responsible, Accountable etc.) and clicking Format > Match Width > Match Width for Selected Topics, and
Selecting the "Definitions" topic (branch) and clicking Format > Match Width > Match Width for Selected Branches.
