Hi,

Moving from 2.6 to 2.8. I was used to the toolbox displaying extra options for a tool, lets say text tool (font, position, color, etc.). But using 2.8 I don't get these options (there is only text saying 'drop dockable stuff here'.

Also the text tool seems to have changed, now displayed in the canvas. Apart from missing the options mentions before, I find the text tool is covering my workspace in an unpleasant way atm.

Best regards, \r

You can reopen tool's options dialog via Windows -> Dockable Dialogs menu and then dock it wherever you like.

I see, all though I don't know how to dock it.

Being able to directly format the text without going to the sidebar and back all the time is unpleasant?

There are also advantages of it likely, but the fact that it covers the canvas and is not sticked at one position is something I experience as unpleasant in workflow. But alas, I'm not experienced in this, all though I've pretty some experience with other multimedia software.
