OK, but where will this text object go when you click Apply? Center of screen?
I think I wasn't clear enough. When you click on the canvas with the text tool, a text entry point is defined, i.e. a vertical blinking bar appears. This defines where the text should go. The entry window on the Text tab remains grayed out until you have typed at least one character. What I propose is that you be allowed to enter text as soon as you have defined the text entry point. Perhaps this is a bug as you can enter flowed text as soon as a text box is defined.
- It would be useful to put a message such as "No text selected" in the
window on the Text tab instead of leaving the text from the last selected text there.
Agreed, it's worth a RFE
Will file.
- The Font Family in the dialog is not updated when text is selected
using the selection tool (it is when text is selected with the text tool).
Indeed, please file a bug about that.
Will file.
