- I'm sure there's a simple answer to this but I'm stumped. How can I create
- a field in the background and enter text into it? I can create the field
- ok, and I can enter text into it at the card layer, but if I then set the
- "shared text" property, all of the text disappears. I can't enter the text
- at the background layer at all (I don't get the I-beam cursor). Cutting the
- field from a card and pasting to the background also deleted all of the
- text.
