Description Alexey Chernov 2015-04-07 10:06:36 UTC 
Text which can be entered into shape is bound to some corner of the shape (which can't be changed in any way) and clipped to some pre-defined size (for example, for "Basic Flowchart" stencil it's initial size of the shape and for "Cisco" stencil it's null size, you can't see any entered text).
I think, text shouldn't be clipped in any way as sometimes it's useful to let it overflow the shape borders, but there should be a changeable rectangle of text area while you start to edit it. As to binding, I think text binding should respect settings of shape center in 'position and size' tab with certain radiobuttons .

Reproducible: Always
