o Resizing a frame is as simple as dragging the handle inthe bottom right corner to change its width or height. Drag with Ctrl to restrict resizing to horizontal or vertical. Such resizing can be done by Text tool, Node tool, or any shape tool; however, only Text tool also highlights the frame border when a flowed text is selected.
Well, first of all, I think that the frame should show with all tools,
Perhaps, but it's a minor point while a major hassle from coding viewpoint.
secondly I'd prefer the selection tool to transform the shape the text is flowed in
It does. Just select and transform.
and thirdly I've filed bug #1223132 because there is a reproducible crash.
I can't reproduce this with _latest_ CVS. This bug was in CVS for a couple hours, but then I fixed it (several hours ago). Please make sure you have the latest CVS and report if you still have this crash.
o Transforming a flowed text is straightforward. It isselected as a single object including both the frame and the text, and can be moved, scaled, rotated etc.
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.
Further more:
The text and font dialogue should only show the selected part of the text!
Yeah, of course. In fact it's half-coded already. I just need to finish this.
