Guess what? I know that.
Sorry I didn't phrase that better, but basically I was trying to point out that it was something that although not a bug would be relatively important to fix before another release (and I'm sure you know that too but I felt I needed to make myself clear).
Sorry I just meant to say that it's an awful amount of work to put even the basic text options onto the panel. Right now all text options are available via either the dialog or shortcuts, so there is no dire need to rush this for this release. One of the next releases for sure.
Is there a bug report or RFE tracking this issue?
Lots.
I've been looking but not found it yet, already getting bogged down in other reports.
SF is down at the moment so I can't help you. I do remember several RFEs on this, however the idea of the text panel that I have in mind is much more detailed than any of the RFEs. I just need time to implement it.
