**Behavior:**

After creating a group of objects or importing one from a gallery (probably SVG), double clicking on the group or hitting F2 doesn't create a text box linked to the object group.
Adding text is henceforth only possible to individual objects in the group or individually and then adding it to the group.

**Expected behavior:**

Adding text to groups should work equally as easy as when adding text to single, ungrouped objects. A double click or hitting F2 should create a text box with the same properties as that of one added to a single object.

The file format (see URL) does not allow direct text for a group. For direct text you would need an element <text:p>.
