True. In the distant past this command used to be called just "Text", and was only present in the toolbar, and not in the Insert menu, so there was no confusion back then. But at some point in time someone decided to add it to the Insert menu, and to rename it to "Insert Text Box". > A possible solution might be to make the INSERT menu item label change > depending on context: > > If an object is selected, make the label "Text into Object" > If no object is selected, make the label "New Text Box" Changing menu labels dynamically is against the HIG, and we try to avoid it as much as possible. Another solution I suggested in <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - UI: Insert textbox button marked active while cursor inside textbox" href="show_bug.cgi?id=131764#c5">Bug 131764 comment 5</a> is to copy the behavior of Inkscape, and allow drawing new text boxes even when the edit mode of another text box is active.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
