steps to reproduce: 1) Drag a rectangle onto the stage 2) Write some text on rectangle 3) Make the text red (default format should be set now) 4) Click on stage 5) Click on rectangle 6) Begin typing some more text Expected result: Text typed in step 6 should be red cd 3/6/06 - interestingly enough, this is not how Visio does it. I'm torn whether or not we should... I think we should have the default set for lines and shape (fill color, line color, etc), but i'm not sure about text. cd 6/7 - had a user request this. Might make sense. We should probably have separate default text formats for Shapes, Lines and Text Shapes. Actual result Text typed in step 6 is black
