The ability of "‘Set text background" in the latest version was always a bit of a meh for me
and I found it interferes with my usual practice of setting colour outlines by right click in the colour bar.

Xara allows you to set the old ways which suit me fine.

Except for today I need that pesky effect and surprise surprise I now find no way of applying it

When I right click I get the popup menus but no sign of "‘Set text background" which Xara assures me it should be..

Anyone rescue me?
