If I select a Text Mesh Pro UGUI it is outlined yellow in the Scene view. If I change the RectTransform values the yellow box resizes. If I drag out the yellow box’s handles in the scene view then the RectTransform’s values do not change and it is a bit puzzling what has happened!
Why is the rect transform size not directly linked to this yellow box - what is it?!

The Yellow Rectangle shows the Margin of the text object which are also accessible in the Extra Settings of the text object.
Just like with a piece of paper, the margin allows the user to define some offset from the text container.

OK thanks, now I get it!
I would just adjust the RectTransform myself, not needed a margin yet but maybe has a use.
