They'd be impossible to select and clear away. Don't want that behavior. So, in addition to the current mouse release/click to complete draw object creation--we would need the Draw text box object to be created fully styled on the initial single character entry, rather than by a mouse action. That would be to supplement currently functional drawing of full text box with its styling and then entering text at its text cursor. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
