Seems fine to me.
Until you have a clutch of Shapes on the page and switch to the Text tool...

...the one thing I have discovered is if no Shape is select and you go to the Text tool and use Ctrl+Select the pop-up appears for that Shapes; if you just Select you get normal (Xara) capability.

It is the Select within the bounds of a selected Shape that is the problem.
