Painters

A shape section has been added to the add dialog to easily select the shape you want.

In the top right corner there is now a delete button to delete the current painter. Drag your painter to the right of this button to remove it. The presentation painter should now work correctly.

Rich text

Many problems with the rich text system has been fixed. The toolbar works again and don’t remove the current text. A select system by clicking and dragging has also been added. Vertical arrow buttons works now and will change the current cursor to the next line. A box has been added around the text to see how big the text box is.
