Re: Box for Custom Date is far too big

I often put the date stamp immediately after another text object or another stamp and the date box covers the first object so that it isn't selectable.

Box for Custom Date is far too big

When I use the stamp Custom Date its text box is much to big. Unfortunately "Fit box by text contents" isn't in the context menu. Resizing the box manually makes the date too small.
Is there another way to resize the box, please?
