Summary: Cannot edit text shape after saving in a vector
library
Product: krita
Version: 4.3.0
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Layers/Vector

Example Vector Library with a text shape
SUMMARY
All vector shapes are auto-grouped, and text shape inside a group is not
editable. Hence if you make a vector library with a text shape, it won't be
editable when you drag it out of the library to the canvas.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a vector library with a text shape.
2. Drag the text shape onto the canvas.
OBSERVED RESULT
The text shape cannot be edited.
If you right-click and select "Ungroup", you can edit text.
EXPECTED RESULT
The text shape should be editable from the start.
SYSTEM INFORMATION
Krita version 4.3.0
Linux Mint

In my opinion it would be safe to not group text shapes. Other single shapes
might or might not be grouped, but it's especially important for text shapes
since then they cannot be edited.
Also note: it might be worth checking if a group is grouped too (so the result
is double-grouped).
