Description Shashidhar Kannoori CLA 2006-06-16 21:50:45 EDT
When trying to edit "free text" in the diagram editor, there are a few problems: 
- You sometimes have to click around until you find the right place in the free text object to enable editing
- Once the free text is open for editing, the changed text is duplicated and shows up separately from the actual free text.  This duplicate text is what you edit.  There should not be duplicated text.  The user should edit the actual text as it is shown.
- The duplicated text sometimes appears quite a bit above or below the original free text object, which sometimes does not show on the screen.  You may have to scroll up or down to see the duplicated line in order to edit.  This sometimes makes it appear as if you aren't editing the text at all, when in fact you are, but you have to scroll up or down to confirm this fact.
