Manual Draw - Draw Text bad in Rev 8.0.0.8

[seefisch]

Manually putting text on a chart in NT8 Beta Version 8.0.0.8 is unusable.

Might be some fault in the way I am doing it with this latest rev?
Procedual Change I am unaware of?

I don't seem to be able to get it to work..

Hello seefisch,

You will want to right click on the chart and select Drawing Tools > Text

Then left click on the chart where you want to place the text and start typing

Got it.
Oops.. Black text on black background doesn't show up. Thanks..

I must be missing something, when i type on the chart and hit carriage return, it terminates the entry mode, so i have to go click on that text and enter the property to enter the next line. How do I enter a carriage return and continue typing on the chart entry mode? Special combo key?

Manual Text Entry

I too agree that the Text Draw process should cause the cursot to jump into the newly created text box after the initial left click that tells the system where to put the text. The present design breaks up the Manual Draw function confusing the user by causing an unneeded click.
