Description zuperuser 2004-05-05 15:47:00 UTC 
I am actually refering to the discussion in Issue #5713 that lead to the
conclusion that the use textboxes is far too restricted. Well, this is not only
true for portability reasons. As an example, designing in headers is limited due
to the fact that frames behave a bit of "weird" in headers and that textboxes do
not accept fields nor graphics.
I am aware that the drawing tools in the current versions are far enough for
most of the designing tasks. However, enhanced textboxes would go one step
further and cover the remaining needs.

MRU->zuperuser: the use of frames in headers/footers has been heavily enhanced
for OO 2.0. See snapshot build for this.

MRU-BH: At the moment, drawing textboxes are not capable of containing fields or
graphics.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
