<pre>Description:
It's probably by design, but the user experience with textboxes is quite
horrible (in my humble opinion).
The issues I encounter are related to the fact that:
* Textboxes don't have any (visualized) border when deselected
* Empty text objects get removed automatically (because otherwise you might
fill you document unintentionally with unused, empty and mostly invisible
objects without noticing)
The textbox will disappear when trying to:
- dragging empty textbox (see also: <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - Can't drag an empty textbox"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=98856">bug 98856</a>)
- pasting text into an empty textbox using right click paste
- make layout changes to the textbox before adding content
- when cutting all the content out of a textbox and paste it into the regular
text (with the intention to use the textbox for something else).
Text selection
- Text can be behind a textbox without knowing (until you click on it)
The rule of deleting empty text objects isn't working when:
- A textbox is containing some content (space; enter)
- when adding and empty textbox and press CTRL+Z afterward
Actual Results:
Textbox is invisible and will deleted if deselected and empty
Expected Results:
- Textboxes should be deleted automatically
- Textboxes have some sort of border the indicate size and position when
deselected
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
