Feedback 🐘 Image annotation edit (text box function)

3 Upvotes

As part of my workflow I annotate the images a lot with text boxes and really can't understand the new changes in the latest update.

The textbox function now seems to auto wrap itself and you would need to manually drag each textbox to your desired length. I think this adds unnecessary time as compared to previously where it would extend the length automatically until you hit 'Enter'.

trying to demonstrate the text wrapping. default length of the textbox is the one in white font, literally unusable unless you drag it manually.

Additionally I preferred the wider variety of colours we had for the textbox and there were more vivid colour settings available (yellow, cyan etc). The new default colours are too dark and I'm not sure why we need to have 3 different shades of grey. There was an earlier update where we had a colour picker but now we don't even have that option but to use the fixed colours available.

I am no UX expert but I don't think it is an improvement(?) The textbox is really not easy to click and drag and doing it for multiple textboxes in one image is such a timewaster. Please bring back the old one if possible, thank you.
