<!-- See our full bug reporting guidelines at https://inkscape.org/contribute/report-bugs/ Writing a good bug report will ensure we'll be able to help efficiently. 🙂 --> #### Summary: <!-- Summarize the issue/suggestion concisely: --> Currently Inkscape reads text style attributes from the <text> element for the tooltips and the T&F dialog. This is inaccurate and we should only read the style on the <text> if there's no tspans within. #### Steps to reproduce: <!-- Describe what you did (step-by-step) so we can reproduce: --> **Case 1** - open Inkscape - switch to the Text tool - type something - select text within - press Ctrl+B to bolden - click outside or press Esc - switch to the Selector tool - select the text - look at the status bar and the T&F dialog **Case 2** - open Inkscape - switch to the Text tool - type something - press Esc and switch back to the Selector tool - in the T&F dialog switch the font and text size to say, Noto Sans 12 - go to the Text tool - click on the text then press Ctrl+A (select all) - go to the T&F dialog and select another font/size combo (say, Inter 24) - press Esc and go back to the selector tool - select the text - look at the status bar and the T&F dialog (additionally try changing the settings in the T&F dialog) #### What happened? The <text> font and size is read, and changing it causes jumps in the text #### What should have happened? Settings are read from internal tspans and multiple styles are properly shown #### Version info <!-- Open 'Help > About' and click on the little bug icon in the bottom right corner that copies the debug information to your clipboard.
