Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “IN-100421” project
2. Open the “Scenes/SampleScene” Scene
3. Enter the Play Mode
4. Select the “Text (TMP)” GameObject in the Hierarchy window
5. Make sure “Auto Size” option is checked under “TextMeshPro - Text” component
6. Press the “Test PrefferedValue” button under “Test Text Mesh” component
7. Observe the “Rect” GameObject’s size
Expected result: “Rect” GameObject’s size is set to text’s preferred value
Actual result: “Rect” GameObject’s size is set to text’s auto sizing max value

Resolution Note:
This is more of a philosophical question than a bug. When Auto‑Size is on and the text has no layout constraints, we return the maximum font size you set, because that’s the largest size Auto‑Size can choose. If you need GetPreferredSize to use the exact font size you specified, Auto-Size could be disabled.
