It does. Just select and transform.
it doesn't transform the shape but the text, like it wasn't a flowtext
It does transform the frame too, even if you don't see that. I.e. if you scale the text up 2x, the frame is also scaled.
This is what feels kinda strange.... it should be rotatable etc... just behave like a rectangle.
What is strange? It IS rotatable etc, just like a rectangle.
Well, I'd want to transform the shape, not the text... it's strange that the rectangle is not rotated when using the texttool again.
This is just the display. I used the simple frame highlight which can only show non-rotated. However the frame itself IS rotated; see how the text flows in it. The blue highlight just shows the _bounding box_ of the frame. I know this is less than perfect, but I think it's still good enough for most applications. Note that with a linked non-rect frame, it also shows the bbox around that frame, which makes sense.
