Text Layers

I suggest that there is Text Layers, where you drag a dotted square, and type in there, and when you let go of it, it's stuck there. This way you can use different fonts and font sizes in your text, in a similar way to MS Paint.

Re: Text Layers

I was looking for that feature! Suggesting multiple text boxes is a great idea.

Re: Text Layers

Well, for now, you can just right-click on the Stage area and select "grab screen region for new sprite" and drag a square around the sprite with text. While you won't be able to edit the old text, you can still add new text with different fonts, sizes, etc. (If you're trying to do a background, right click and select "save picture of stage" and open the file you saved)

I can't tell you how annoying it is.
