Bug when editing text box? (#3940)

I've encountered a bug when editing text in a text box in VCP 7.0 on MacOS 10.6.8. I've created a 2D drawing using the model to sheet function. In this 2D drawing, I've created a text box to include drawing notes. Immediately after creating the text box, I am able to edit by double-clicking, and create a "paragraph" of text, inserting carriage returns when necessary. After saving the file and re-opening, if I double-click the text box, I do not see my text, just a black space with a blinking cursor. If I click out, the text remains. I'm able to make changes via the Inspector and/or the 'Text' box in the menu bar, however, I lose all of my paragraph formatting. i.e. instead of carriage returns, the text runs together with "/P" in place of the returns. Please help!

I think that VCP 7, build 967 has something similar going on, except I get it even without doing Model to Sheet. I dont' think the prior version, VCP 6, had this issue. In my case (about a month ago) I invoked the text tool. I entered text, and then, for whatever reason, found I could not re-edit the text by double-clicking on it. I had to use the text properties box. Even so, one or two other issues arose and i felt drained and just went back to drawing rather than continue to annotate. I will concede that it might have been me, but I feel that textual edit should be possible in the double-clicked text or off in the properties field.
