Hi,

I know, I'm not a "normal" user, but I see no problem in the current behavior. It is a nice feature in Draw and Impress, that *I* can decide, whether I will use a tool permanently or not.

Especially text boxes I nearly never use in permanent mode, and when I need several other objects of the same kind, I often duplicate them. So I would like to stay with the current behavior.

Hi guys,

        Federico has a patch that could use some thought / investigation /
competitive analysis here:

        https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39268

        I was wondering if (since users tend to get stuck in this mode), having
'Escape' escape from the mode back to normal 'selection' would be a
helpful addition to make it more acceptable.

If you are using the mouse, clicking the "Selection" icon is one way to stop permanent mode. But because users are used to toggling icons, it might be handy, when the permanent mode is finished and work turns to selection mode, when you click a second time on the icon, which is in permanent mode.

Using 'Escape' is always possible and suitable when working with keyboard only, but not handy, when you currently draw with the mouse.

Kind regards
Regina
