Description issues@www 2001-07-17 16:38:19 UTC 
When 'allow quick editing' is selected you have to be careful where you click 
in the shape, depending on whether you want to edit or move. This is a bit 
distracting. It would be easier if it was similar to Visio (which isn't perfect 
either, but is a little easier).

In Visio, if you click on a shape, it is selected and can be moved regardless 
of where you clicked. You can then start to type, which replaces the existing 
text or adds new text if there isn't any existing. If you want to edit the 
existing text then you have to double-click.

A more useful scheme would be to allow double click and typing as above but 
also to enter edit mode by pressing the Enter key. This should preserve the 
existing text and place the cursor at the end of the text.

Thanks,
Ed.

Hi Christian, what do you think about this?

In my opinion the possibility to edit text like in Vision (PPoint 
does have this feature, too) is a great idea. But I can't support the 
idea of switching into edit mode by pressing enter. This a little bit 
to much like a word processor.
If a text is alredy in an object, it should be possible to jump to 
the end of the text by doing these steps.

1. Select Object
2. Press Enter -> Text is selected
3. Curser right -> Cursor jumps to the end of the text.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
