Description

From rajwinde...@gmail.com on November 07, 2013 23:25:18

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open a new project. 2. Use 'Desktop Native UI Widgets' Label, Buttons and Group edit their text (heading for Group). 3. Save file. 4. Reopen saved *.ep file.

Expected: All saved texts, shapes should be visible as when saved.

Actual: Most saved text does not show up. Double clicking that shape/ label/ group to edit, will show the saved text and then clicking elsewhere on the sheet enables the visibility of that particular text for the rest of the session

Research direction
Investigate the serialization and deserialization of UI element properties, particularly text content. Look at the save and load functions in the codebase to see if text attributes are properly saved and restored. Check the comments in the issue for any hints or attempted fixes.
