Description Menoo 2020-12-26 19:04:18 UTC
Description:
If you click on a text box (possibly other objects too), control handles and outline do not appear, making box resizing nearly impossible.  I have to click all over the place until I get the invisible text box boundaries by luck.  This is very dysfunctional and different than every other program I've ever used.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a rectangle object
2. set border to invisible
3. type text into it (a little or a lot of text that overflows)
4. Click in the box the textbox boundaries do not appear nor are there control corners.

Actual Results:
No control corners, no object boundaries/contour/object outline (if transparent line).

Expected Results:
Use marching ants, different colored boxes or control corners to clearly delineate text box boundaries and ability to resize the box.


Reproducible: Always

Can not confirm.

The draw shape objects including a text box object, respond correctly.

A single click within the shape but not on its text box will select the shape with borders.  A double click there will change to text cursor of the contained text box.

A single click on the text of a shape object, will enter text cursor mode with focus on the text. From there an <Esc> will restore the shape selection with its controls.

My wording is a bit better since it shows intent more accurately.  The duplicate item doesn't read like a bug, which it is.  It's unusable the way it is.
