SwiftUI Text not shrinking with .fixedSize() - swift

Question

I'm working on an app with a piece of large text with buttons underneath which I want to take up the same width as the text. My solution is to use a VStack with the .fixedSize() modifier:
VStack {
Text(viewModel.timeString)
.animation(nil)
.minimumScaleFactor(0.1)
.lineLimit(1)
.font(.system(size: 100, design: .monospaced))
.padding(.vertical, -20)
TimerActionsCompact(viewModel: viewModel) // the 3 buttons
}
.fixedSize()
This produces the result I want:
However, when the text becomes too big, it just goes off the screen instead of shrinking, even though I have minimumScaleFactor and lineLimit set.
I found that the problem was .fixedSize(), and removing it causing the text to shrink properly.
Am I doing something wrong, or could this be a bug with swiftUI? If so is there any workaround?
Thanks!

One possible way you can use frame modifier like this example:
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var string: String = "0.0"
var body: some View {
Text(string)
.font(.system(size: 100, design: .monospaced))
.minimumScaleFactor(0.1)
.lineLimit(1)
.frame(width: 200, height: 80) // give your custom size here as you like!
.background(Color.gray.cornerRadius(10.0))
.animation(nil, value: string)
Button("add") { string += String(describing: Int8.random(in: 0...9)) }.padding()
}
}
