Hello:
I am currently editing some .svg figures created in R and cannot seem to get the text in the figures to be recognized as text. Double-clicking on the text doesn't switch to the text objects cursor. When I select a piece of text, change to the text-object cursor and hover over the text I do not get the expected blue outline indicating Inkscape recognizes the characters as text. I can ungroup the text to give individual characters, which Inkscape is telling me are "objects of the type Symbol".
Because this seems to be a recent development I'm wondering if my recent system update could be part of the problem. I recently updated to Mac OS 10.10.3 and am running XQuartz 2.7.7. When I go back to R-generated .svg files from before my upgrade I cannot edit the text in these files either, though I'm pretty sure I could before.
Does this seem to make any sense to anyone? Have any of you out there encountered similar problems trying to edit text under Mac OS 10.10?
