    Something to think about..do you think that possibly the font itself had to do with the issue. There's a possibility I may have used a font that didn't function properly with the Text Block..hmmm.

    It wasn't your cat. This happens to me all the time. I believe it is related to grouping text with other objects.

    I don't use any "shape" conversion tools. This is strictly putting text in boxes and making groups. Over time (never immediately) the Text Line gets turned into a group of individual characters making text edits impossible.

    This is a massive oversight and a huge issue for certain users of this product. Xara, where's your response?

    Yes has happened to me it seems like forever, and it irritates the dickens out of me. And more times than not I have to re-type..ugh!

    What happens if you ungroup them. Is the text still shapes or text?

    Please attach a xar/web file showing this behaviour

    Egg, here's an example of what we're talking about.

    Unfortunately that doesn't really help GuG. Basically the .web file is just a paragraph of text converted to Editable shapes and Ungrouped / Ungrouped.

    It doesn't show in anyway why this is happening. Are you using personalised key shortcuts?

    In all my years of using Xara I've never experienced this problem & I can't think of anyway it would happen other than via converting text to Editable shapes and Ungroup / Ungroup, which is a fairly complex set of commands.

    Perhaps you could produce a video of how this occurs?

    I dunno if I know how to do this Egg. I can tell you that I do not convert to editable shapes. It just struck me, it happens only when I take the text tool, do a rectangle and type a paragraph. At some point after that every letter separates and the edit block shows as a group. It really bumfuzzles me.

    Well it could be something, I guess, between my system and the app. I can't figger' it out, but as usual thank you for the effort.
