Is it just me, or is it really hard to edit text? I started a test page, and perhaps its my use of Chrome, or the font size, but when I add a text box by doubleclick, the box is immediately obscured by a sizing menu. There seems no way to actually add text without clicking on a size much bigger than the menu and then clicking to the right of it. This order of operations seems backwards. I would much prefer to type in my text, and then choose to resize it, once I know how big it looks ... not size a blank box as the only way to add text.
