How to adjust the size of a text box in Network Atlas

We've recently upgraded to v9.5 and in the old Mapmaker, we were able to create text boxes, set them to transparent and adjust the width and height of them to create a box around two devices. When I insert a text box using Network Atlas, I can not adjust the width or the heighth of the box. I performed a search for this on Thwack but couldn't find anything so I apologize if this has been asked before. Is there a workaround out there that will allow us to adjust these boxes? I addition when I copy a box from a previous mapmaker map, it show up like this | on the screen and I can't grab onto anything with the pointer to adjust it either. Thanks!

The text boxes currently cannot be resized. This is a known bug tracked in our system.

As for the copy, it is not possible to use clipboard to copy map from MapMaker to Network Atlas. Try to import the map using the Main Menu - Open map.

Ok, this is a pretty major feature that didn't port over from MapMaker to Network Atlas. Can you give me a general idea of when we should expect this to be resolved?

As far as the copy and paste. I have a map that was imported during the upgrade to 9.5 and fortunately the box is still where it needs to be, however, I can't copy the box from one map and paste it into another which would be a good workaround for now. The box appears as this | and can't be adjusted. Can this be corrected in a future version as well?

We believe that the issue will be fixed by fixing the resizability of the text box.

Michal,

What version should correct this problem?
