i agree they dont make sense, but let me elaborate on what i meant
with "could break scripts", ive really worded this too terse.

Assume someone writes a script that needs fix_bounds=0.
In ffmpeg thats default
In libav that needs a fix_bounds=0 option.

If ffmpeg now has a fix_bounds option and sets this to 0 by default
then one can write a script that works with both drawtext filters. If
we remove the option then writing such script becomes tricky

Implementing fix_bounds=1 is not unwelcome nor would it be hard though
i wonder if theres any usecase for it ...
Real word wraping into the next line would be usefull though ...
