Text box selection trouble.

Chrome, WindowsXP. If I click the text tool and then click around the map without typing, I leave behind little invisible lines of "textbox" which I can select and rotate and delete (but have not found a way to update) later. If I actually type in my textbox, I get the words on the map, but nothing highlights when I select a box around the region to try and edit it later, or delete it. Seems like the box should remain connected when it has something in it, and be discarded otherwise, and someone accidentally flipped the situation.
- Note that this text bug only seems to affect text placed on the Tokens layer, text on the maps layer seems to remain selectable regardless of wether it has text or not. It does randomly seem to have other wierd bugs though, like dissappearing if you click off of it, and scaling randomly when you move your mouse nearby until you delect the text tool.
Today I was able to select and delete the old textboxes on the token layer. Also new textboxes on the token layer remain selectable when I return to the token layer. Also writing new textboxes has been less error prone. SO, thanks, I think someone's been working on it. Interestingly, it looks like some of the weird error text boxes that dissappeared earlier got stuck at the very top left of my map, mostly off the map. (Looks like it ends in read this). That guy can't be selected (even if I click on him or try to selectbox his visible parts) on any layer, and interestingly, when I zoom in and scroll right and down, he sticks in the upper left corner of the canvas, until the right edge is reached, then scrolls off.
@Shawn We have been working on it :-) Glad to hear it's working better. We'll keep an eye out for that stuck text issue, but it may just be a weird thing that happened.
