--- Comment #5 from Maxim Monastirsky <momonasmon@gmail.com> ---
Discussed in the past in Bug 113171.

(In reply to Telesto from comment #3)
but I have
'pressed' insert textbox multiple times while having a shape selected.
Intending to insert a new textbox.
I believe this is the biggest problem here: Users aren't able to insert a
textbox while a shape is selected. For comparison, Inkscape also has similar
"Text mode" button, but unlike LO you can draw new textboxes while in edit mode
of another textbox. Might be a good idea to have similar behavior in LO.

Otherwise, we can introduce a dedicated "Insert textbox" command that will do
only that, and use it in the toolbar/menu instead of the current command. The
current command that in use in Draw is .uno:Text, but in Writer it is
.uno:DrawText, so we can implement .uno:DrawText for Draw too, for a
Writer-like behavior. The downside from this is that the menu/toolbar tooltip
will no longer show the keyboard shortcut (F2), as it will be a different
command.

Finally, if we think that indicating the edit mode isn't useful, we might just
change the existing command to not toggle in this case (but only when drawing a
new text box). But this alone won't solve the problem of not being able to draw
text boxes when another shape is selected.
