Description John Pye 2007-05-20 08:24:21 UTC 
I exported my diagram and found an unexpected amount of white space on the canvas. It was because of a text insertion point from a stray clear. Perhaps there is something that could be done to make empty text place-holders visible without having to select them first. It is easy to imagine a large diagram having several such stray text markers, but if they were always visible, it would help to reduce that.

I'm marking a bunch of your bugs with probabledup tag that I'm pretty sure have been reported before but I don't have the time to find them for all your massive slew of bug reports; I'd rather give you feedback quickly.  This one is slightly tricky because texts are born empty and so can't just be removed if they're empty -- maybe I should have a default text in them.
Comment 2 John Pye 2007-05-20 23:51:44 UTC 
A simple solution would be to use the yellow background-highlighting (with an added margin) on empty as well as active texts. Once there is some text there, take the highlighting away. Maybe that would work?

indeed a dupe of "Empty Text, should not exist"
