Maybe, but IIUC if we were to immediately instantiate a new draw text object,
with no text entry, and then <esc> out we would leave a zero size draw object.
They'd be impossible to select and clear away.  Don't want that behavior.

So, in addition to the current mouse release/click to complete draw object
creation--we would need the Draw text box object to be created fully styled on
the initial single character entry, rather than by a mouse action.

That would be to supplement currently functional drawing of full text box with
its styling and then entering text at its text cursor.
