Hi Friends, I'll explain the problem here, before posting on LP. If it already exists, maybe someone can tell me, before I make a duplicate report. (I don't have very good luck searching on LP :-( ) I've been working on a series of Inkscape tutorials, using Inkscape to write the tutorials. So I'm using the Text tool a lot, making regular text....at least *on purpose* making regular text. But it seems I've made a lot of empty flowed text boxes by accident, which are selectable, even though they don't contain any text. I'm pretty sure it's happening when I try to highlight selected text and I don't have the mouse in precisely the correct position. And instead of highlighting text, I've dragged a tiny text box. But I assumed if I didn't type in it, and left the text box empty, it would not exist as an object. When selected via the Tab key, there is no bounding box or scaling handles. But there is identification on the status bar. I can't seem to select by dragging a selection box. But Ctrl A has same behavior -- identification on status bar, but no bounding box on the canvas. I'm not sure what use it is to have empty text boxes. Is this a bug? Or if it's intended, would it be reasonable as a feature request to have the option for empty text boxes not to be retained as objects? Thanks for enlightening me :-)
All best, brynn
