The decision was to not consolidate the text in non-textboxes. That's fine,
albeit not my personal preference. I said as much in my first comment already.
But the committer _absolutely did not_ intentionally keep this on the context
menu of non-textbox-only selections on purpose. 

Again, this bug is about the menu item doing nothing. Either it starts doing
something, or needs to go away, or be grayed-out. Actionable UI which does
nothing is not acceptable.

In fact, the committer explicitly asked Heiko for a UI review, and
unfortunately they both missed the fact that this always shows up on the
context menu even if you haven't only selected textboxes.

I made it clear that it's either the text consolidation _or_ removal/disabling
of the menu item. But even if it were just the enhancement - it certainly would
not be a dupe of 32249, since this bug report is not about PDFs or importation
of PDFs.
