There is an error in drawing shapes and writing letters.

(Please understand that English is not my mother tongue) About 1 or 2 months ago, an error occurred when drawing a figure or writing a letter. In particular, errors often occur when writing text. If I try to change the size of the text while or after writing it, it doesn't work at all. So I have to write a new one. Shapes are also not well sized. I thought it was just me, so I posted it on the forum before posting an inquiry.

I assume you are referring to the drawing tools for figures and text? It would help if you could post screenshots of the errors and reproducible steps. This tutorial might help. And this video . Make sure you focus on the drawing or text by clicking on the arrow (selection tool), then clicking on the object you want to change.

Unselecting it and then selecting it will allow you to adjust font, color and size.

Text objects only have global font styling, not per-character, so you edit the text while in edit mode, but the characteristics while in object mode. The text tool is really just a simple label maker, not a real text editor.

The text tool is really just a simple label maker, not a real text editor. Double Clicking on the selected text brings you to the Edit mode, right. BUT while in Editing you can NOT change font, size or color! You need to reselect text and then edit font, color or size. You can NOT edit and set sze, font or color in 1 go (if you are Editing). THIS is annoying and maybe a FIX should be implemented for this!

I am having the same problem. Can only either edit text, or deselect the box. I can't select the box and change font/color.

Also having this issue. Can't click on the formatting choices to select a color for a drawing, or change the color/font of text. Can select the drawing but can't edit it, other than the size.

I'm also having this issue.  I can create and edit the text in text boxes but cannot change formatting.  I can create shapes but I can't change color or fill.  The color selection box doesn't appear in dark mode and stays at the top of the screen (unclickable) in light mode.

I am still having this issue today, even after clearing cache. Cannot edit text after it has been placed. When I try to click the drop-down box for font/size, the boxes just disappear.
