Bug Description

I've been meaning to report this but forgot, that the current way of manipulating text (right-click - properties), while is consistent with other items, is a usability problem. Here we have an example of someone who actually bothered to report this ;)

Hi there,
first of all, what great software! I switched from MacOS X to Ubuntu and was really hard looking for such an extended screenshot tool. I found it with Shutter -thanks a lot :-)
After working with Shutter version 0.70 (Rev.392 - ppa11) on Ubuntu 8.10 (patch state is up today) I stumble over the function "Add some text" in the Edit Screenshot menu (Ctr-E). When I click on "Add some text" the rectangle with "Add some text" appears on the screenshot, I could even move and resize therectangle, but I have found no way yet to type some text in. Working with "Draw a line", "Insert a picture" , "Censor a picture" etc. works flawless.
Did I miss something while working with "Add some text", any hints ?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

While this was marked as fix released in 2009, it is still an issue in v085.1
I cant get right click (nor alt/shit/ctrl - click) to edit the text. The only way I can find to edit the text is to leave the text tool - use the selection tool (arrow pointer) and then click on the "New text" text.

The version you are using is very old (released on December 3, 2009). Please update to the latest version of Shutter:
